Soil Association Has Disowned the ‘O’ Word, Departing Trustees Claim
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.
