Organic Motherload

After a lot of searching for more substantive information about organic farming, and finding mostly blog posts or news articles about either the debate surrounding certification, or the bullet-point merits or demerits of choosing organic, I finally came across the mother-load of information about sustainable agriculture and, in particular organic farming.

I certainly have not read all of the documents they link to, but I have wasted enough time for today. One in particular that I thought was the best overview of organic farming I have seen yet. Not as detailed as the actual regulations, but much more helpful to actually understand what it is all about than any Grist article I have seen yet. If you care even a little about promoting or buying organic it will be worth time to read it and understand just what you are talking about.

Reading it cleared up a lot of the questions and misconceptions I had, as well as raising some new ones (questions that is -but probably misconceptions too). Maybe I'll get into that later though.
