whyorganic is the magazine style web-site of the Soil Association, the charity at the heart of the organic movement. Our aim is to provide you with the information you need to lead a healthier life-style in tune with the needs of the world. We hope it will inspire you to get involved yourself by:

• Buying and cooking seasonal and organic whenever you can
• Growing your own fruit and veg
• Visiting an organic farm
• Joining a local group of like-minded people
• Making your voice heard and joining the Soil Association
• Supporting our campaigns.

Whatever your level of involvement we hope you’ll find the site useful and engaging. We’re in this together. Thank you and welcome to whyorganic.
