Most people are familiar with the concept of organic food, and maybe even organic textiles, but it's harder to explain exactly what it actually means. Is it a legal definition? What does it mean if a product is organic? Is it just about pesticides? Is organic really any better for me and the planet?
In this fantastic episode, we've put together a brilliant expert panel to answer all those questions and more! Lee Holdstock from The Soil Association, Harriet O'Regan from Organic UK, and Guy Singh-Watson from Riverford join Jen for a thorough discussion about all things organic.
Click on the image on the left to hopefully gain a greater understanding of what exactly "organic" means, and the role it has to play in the health of the planet and feeding the world.

About Jen
Jen is an ordinary, knackered mum of two whose life changed when she dragged and cajoled the family into a year buying nothing new. That year changed not only what she buys, but also how she sees her place in the world. Jen recognised the power that we all have as individuals to make a difference to the things we care about, simply through getting informed about the impact of our daily choices, and figuring out easy swaps and changes. The family are still (just about) talking to her and they live in Wiltshire where Jen writes and podcasts about all things Sustainable(ish). She is the author of two books: The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide (out now) and The Sustainable(ish) Guide to Green Parenting (out March 2021).
