Investing for the future

摘要

These are challenging times for the Soil Association. Over the last 65 years we have brought the organic principles of care, ecology, fairness and health into a world obsessed with a blind faith in consumerism and unqualified growth. In this unequal struggle between our small, under-resourced movement and the largely ungoverned corporate juggernaut, the losers include most other species and our health and humanity, today and tomorrow. And yet the facts remain. There is only one planet with finite resources to provide for the needs of our spiralling population. We must find ways of meeting our needs for food, fuel, timber arid textiles, while not compromising the prospects of future generations.
