Mother Earth Journal
Published twice a year in A5 journal format, Mother Earth complements both Organic Farming and Living Earth, providing in-depth comment and analysis on the intellectual, political and practical issues emerging from the organic movement, as well as celebrating the philosophy, history and successes of the organic pioneers.
“Mother Earth offers readers a greater sense of the history of the organic movement, as well as the deeper meanings of what is going on now in the world of food and farming – and how the future may unfold.”
Charles Dowding, author of ‘Organic Gardening: The No-Dig Way’.
In the current issue (Volume 3: Autumn 2010):
- Lawrence Woodward, who stood down as director at Organic Research Centre (Elm Farm) earlier this year, asks if the organic movement has failed to understand, develop and communicate its underpinning concepts and values
- Environmental journalist Erin Gill looks at the role the early Soil Association played during the 1940-50s in drawing attention to the threats posed by unregulated pesticide use
- Soil Association policy director Peter Melchett explains how GM crops conflict with the core values of the Soil Association – and the organic movement as a whole
- ‘Ecological farming sounds nice, but can it really feed the world?’ Outspoken US farmer Joel Salatin provides a passionate response to this commonly posed question
- The supply of phosphorus from mined phosphate rock – on which intensive agriculture is totally dependent – could ‘peak’ as soon as 2033. An abridged version of a forthcoming Soil Association report
- Laura Creen talks about her experiences as an apprentice on the Soil Association’s Organic Apprenticeship Scheme – and her aspirations for the future.
