The Soil Association is the UK's leading certification body for organic standards.
It is now about to update its standards. It wants them to be straightforward, practical and transparent, so that they are easier to use for farmers, businesses and the public. It is holding a public consultation, so that users of the standards can contribute to the process of standards development.
The consultation is now open and runs until 14 December. Find out how to contribute here, and read more here about Sustain's campaign work for a healthier, greener food system.
