Air-freighted organic food

The Soil Association's consultation document on whether or not it should be certifying air-freighted produce makes interesting reading.

Because the document makes it clear that the "the vast majority of imported organic food comes by ship or road" - not by plane.

Which rather suggests that even if the SA decides to take action against food flown in by aeroplane, we're still going to be eating plenty of imported organic food.
