Four prominent Soil Association trustees who recently resigned from the charity have accused it of disowning the ‘O’ word and “a tendency to infantalise the organic message”. In a blog the author and food campaigner, Joanna Blythman, says she and the other departing trustees – former Ecologist editor, Pat Thomas, organic baker Andrew Whitley and the journalist and long-time organic advocate Lynda Brown – felt Soil Association members had “a right to know” the reasons behind their decision.
