Things Look Good For Organic Food

2005 Awaiting revision 2007



Last month I commented on the increasing tendency of governments in various parts of the world to promote fruit and vegetable consumption. In the UK at least, there is more good news!

Margaret Beckett, the new environment secretary, has said in her first speech that she wants to see the environment at the forefront of agriculture and other countryside matters.

The government is thinking "BSE... foot and mouth... what the
heck next?"

Beckett's words were confirmed by Whitehall (i.e. civil servants), who agreed that the environment was being put centre stage; agricultural decisions would now be taken against a background of social and environmental considerations.


Agricultural Revolution
If their words are put into action - and let's hope they are - this would mark a revolution in the UK's approach to agriculture.

For many years, agriculture has been shaped by government or European subsidies which have made many - especially large - farmers rich, and have de-natured the land.

Less is Less...
Look at the figures - British farmers receive £3 billion in subsidies to produce food worth only £6 billion. Is it any wonder that farmers chase the subsidies? In the past there were cases of farmers buying large tracts of land just to grow nothing on - so they qualified for over-generous EU 'setaside' subsidy.


Organic is Rocketing
Looking back ten years, it is hard to believe just how popular organic food has become in the UK.

Sainsbury's, for example, Britain's second largest supermarket chain, now has an organic range of over one thousand products; from cheese and butter to fresh herbs; from pesto sauce to ready-cook pizzas; from tea and coffee to wine, beer and spirits; and from breakfast cereals to ice cream, yoghurts, and fifty varieties of
baby foods.

The message to farmers? Forget the subsidies - go for the improved profit margins of organic food!  In the year to April 2000, sales of organic food in the UK grew by a staggering 55%!

OK - not easy for many of today's beleagured farmers to change course; but the movement is in that direction. And for many farmers, their existing income has been slashed by all manner of negative influences. If existing farmers don't tread this new path, they will be replaced by those who will.

Cold Organics
OK - much of the supermarkets' "fresh" organic produce is kept in airless fridges for 6 months or longer to ensure continuity of supply - but at least it is available, and it is organic.

If you can - find a non-supermarket source. Or try to grow some of your own.

Government Sees Sense?
Margaret Beckett, no-doubt, has the bill for BSE firmly in mind - an estimated £8 billion ($11 billion). This is more than the £6 billion quoted above for the total value of food produced annually by farmers in the UK.

A re-assessment only makes sense. Maybe the political will is there now it has cost taxpayers so much money.

Let's hope so.

Population Sees Sense?
Then we might all start looking for quality food to spend a reasonable amount of money on. Rather than what the UK tends to do - chase low prices and buy low quality.

The real cost of such cheap food is that it damages the environment and our health. For example, hundreds of tons of chemical fertilizers and pesticides pour onto the land, and then into the sea; and new diseases spring up which we would prefer not to imagine.
