Stockfree Organic

We need to rethink the way in which we produce food, recognise its ecological implications, and adopt a more earth-friendly approach. Climate change is almost universally accepted as being caused by the release, through human activities, of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. Only professional deniers, funded by the fossil fuel lobby, and blinkered politicians, still doubt the science and mounting evidence of the human contribution to climate change. The earth’s current period of development has been coined the ‘anthropocene’ - a time when virtually all planetary ecosystems are being affected by, and in many cases seriously degraded by human activity.

How can Stockfree Organic systems help slow down climate change? This statement explains what can be done...

"...large-scale stockless systems for cereals work both in terms of sustainability and economic viability"

Read Iain's response to an article appeared in the UK magazine Organic Gardening, giving the opinion that it was impossible to grow organically without using animal manures!

Many of the methods described have been explained in past editions of Growing Green, however this article also gives an insight into Iain's practical personal motivation.
