41% of Britain’s wildlife species have declined since 1970, and, according to studies by the Soil Association, 1 in 10 are currently facing extinction due to intensive farming practises with heavy uses of pesticide.
Organic farmers rely of the whole ecosystem to protect the soil and regulate the numbers of pests, and therefore use significantly less harmful chemicals on their land.
This creates a safe zone for wildlife and provides homes for bees, birds, butterflies and insects, resulting in significantly more biodiversity on Organic farms. Did you know that on Organic farms, there are around 75% more wild bees?
