“The health of soil, plants, animals and (hu)man is one and indivisible.” Sir Albert Howard put it so well when he described the essential connection between what we eat and the ground beneath our feet. Or as nutritionist Michaela Mazzoni says, “you are what you eat, eats”.
We know that organic works with nature – avoiding artificial pesticides and fossil fuel-derived fertilisers – to build healthy soils, in turn growing healthy plants, and nutritious food for us to eat.
This Organic September we want to highlight the fundamental connection between healthy soil and healthy food, and encourage citizens to nourish their "gut garden" by enjoying delicious organic food that will benefit their gut microbiome. By exploring the link between soil health and gut health, we will help people understand that how food is produced affects its quality – and that it all comes back to the soil.
