Q39) Read resource 16 on p.21 of the booklet.

Access a couple of websites which give information about Organic Farming.
Such as

• SOIL ASSOCIATION
  
• Why ORGANIC ? site of Soil Association
  
• Take a virtual tour of an organic farm at FARM TRAILS
  

Draw a poster / table / mindmap (I don't mind which one you use, but it has to be visual...)
The poster / table / mindmap has to EXPLAIN the following:

• What is organic farming ?
• Why do some people say this is more SUSTAINABLE than traditional farming ?

Q40) Imagine that non-organic farming was made ILLEGAL in the UK. What problems might this cause for consumers ?
Is organic always the best option ?

This is a complicated issue !
