Since its inception over a half century ago, the Soil Association has "been working to raise awareness about the positive health and environmental benefits of organic food and farming and supporting farmers in producing natural food consumers can trust." Originally formed by a coalition of inspired scientists, nutritionists, and farmers, the Soil Association is now the leading organic farming and food certification and campaigning organization in the United Kingdom. Although primarily geared towards citizens of the United Kingdom, the Association website merits a perusal from anyone interested in the organic food movement. Site features include a large online library containing hundreds of documents listed under such categories as Animal Welfare, Biodiversity, Horticulture, Pesticides, and Education; profiles of many organic farms in the UK; a classified ads page with information about employment opportunities and items for sale; information about the Soil Association's standards for organic production and processing; and more.
