The motion

That this House celebrates Organic September, an annual campaign led by the Soil Association to promote organic food, farming and sustainable living; recognises that organic farming avoids the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, supports biodiversity and animal welfare, helping to protect public health and the environment; notes that this year’s theme highlights the important connection between healthy soil and healthy food, as farming without artificial pesticides and fossil fuel derived fertilisers builds healthier soils capable of producing more nutritious crops; commends the Soil Association for its ongoing work to raise awareness of the benefits of organic farming and land use; and encourages consumers to support organic farmers and producers as part of creating a more sustainable food system.
