Soil Association Organic Fortnight 2009 - organic values on a budget

05 August 2009

This year’s Soil Association Organic Fortnight (5-20 September 2009) will focus on why organic products offer great value for both your wallet and for the planet. As thrifty shoppers look to make every pound go further, the benefits of going organic on a budget stretch far beyond great-tasting, additive-free food and drink.

Organic is first choice for consumers who want products which don't just taste, look or feel good, but which are environmentally-friendly, ethical, healthy and have the highest animal welfare standards in the UK too. To understand why organic offers genuine good value check out our ten good reasons to choose organic and to make your shopping basket work harder check out our ten top ways to go organic on a budget.

Pass it on: for those passionate about the issues they can raise awareness of the benefits by hosting an ‘Organic credit crunch dinner’ for friends.

Soil Association Organic Fortnight kicks off with the Organic Food Awards – a celebration of the very best in organic food and drink. If this whets your appetite, the winners will be exhibiting at the Organic Food Festival 2009, Europe’s largest showcase of all things organic, on the 12 & 13 September, at Bristol Harbourside.
