Soil Association Response to Manchester Business School

 Date : 23/02/2007

Soil Association responds to the Manchester Business School report "Environmental Impacts of Food Production and Consumption".

The Soil Association wishes to reassure people that organic farming is much better for the environment than industrial methods, contrary to the impression given by the report for Defra by the Manchester Business School, "Environmental Impacts of Food Production and Consumption" (December 2006) and the recent media publicity.

The report only covered a couple of the environmental impacts of organic farming, omitting many others. Most importantly, the main conclusions on 'carbon emissions', eutrophication and land use are largely based on a single study which does not represent organic farming systems. We believe the energy data is reliable but has been mis-reported. Based on all the evidence available, the Soil Association remains confident that organic farming is better for tackling climate change and for other environmental impacts.
