Make Devon the Organic County of the UK agriculturally and horticulturally.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

There is a need for safe food production and a worldwide purchasing power for this.
Many growers are already soil certified and as a lot of land is currently unused by the landowners, hoping to sell for building, it would be easy to obtain certification for this land.
Devon would remain green.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
