		<description><![CDATA[Interestingly, following on from the last post, a new Defra-backed report has emerged which suggests that shoppers have a perception of organic food and farming that is beyond the practical requirements of the regulations.

They confess that not all of the information has been hauled right up-to-date yet, but they are working on it. So, for all your Government organic farming-related info you now need to go here.
