Soil Association Chair, Craig Sams, has been making some extraordinary claims. He calculates that a worldwide transition to organic farming could help us reduce carbon in the atmosphere by half the amount that we need to in order to stabilise climate change. Sams - who is also the founder of Whole Earth Foods and Green & Blacks Chocolate - sees carbon pricing as a way of making this transition possible. Next week we hope to get a couple of independent experts to examine these claims and their implications.
