Yesterday at the Eco Conference Centre, the Soil Association hosted a special seminar about one of the latest scientific studies showing that organic farm holdings support a better diversity of wild plants and animals compared to ‘conventional’ farms. This is the kind of event that feeds into policy change at a national level.
The serious setting of the rooms and facilities, however, is balanced by the inspirational location, great food and areas where people can chat and relax between sessions. Delegates met in the Beech Room, dined alfresco in the Physic Garden and took a farm walk in the summer sunshine. Butterflies danced through the grass, a skylark sang on high. Does anywhere beat this?
