CEO of OF&G. Sustainability alone isn't enough. We must challenge received wisdom so the future is much better; not just less bad. For OF&G's views; @ofgorganic
"We are not claiming organic is better or superior but showing a way of producing food while supporting the environment."
Politicians must stop ’airbrushing’ organic farming out of debates on agricultural changes.

It’s not about going 100% organic overnight - instead, you can help make great changes to our food system by swapping a few items in your basket to organic versions. 🛒
