| MOVING BEYOND ORGANIC NEWS CHALLENGE 2008
Keep your eyes and ears open this year and try to make a mental note of how many news articles and relevant stories you hear to do with nutrition, food quality, health and sustainability. They are all connected and are becoming hot topics rising to the top of many people’s thoughts and concerns. As of Jan 09 the new organic standards allowing 0.9% GM contamination is just one issue I am sure you will all hear about. |

| FUNDING SUCCESS FOR SOWING THE SEED PROJECT
Last year was our year for creating business plans and funding applications. What a challenge this was! And oh, what a waiting game we had to play. But much of the agony is over and I am delighted and thrilled to be able to tell you that we have secured some money and have employed a Part Time Education Development Officer. Jane Renton will start work at the beginning of January 08 on developing our education project - Sowing the Seed. The money has come from various sources but in particular it is thanks to the Ernest Cook Trust that we are able to continue developing this project. There is a condition however, and that is the projects must happen in the Gloucestershire area. This will suit us for now but once Jane has built up her experience and necessary materials the plan is to expand the project beyond the boundaries of Gloucestershire. This will be done by recruiting volunteers to help run Sowing the Seed in their own local schools. |
