520			_aConsiders the future of the market for organic produce following a recent media backlash prompted by the high cost of organics and recent health scares. Despite this the demand for organics from consumers continues to grow and to exceed the domestic industry's ability to supply. Whilst there has been increasing support for organic farming and produce from the Agriculture Minister, House of Lords select committee, and MAFF in recent years the organic market has yet to fulfil its potential, with 70% of organic food having to be imported. Examines the Soil Association's proposed solutions to the problems, most notably in the form of the Organic Food and Farming Targets Bill, and calls for a 'leap of faith' from farmers. Includes information on the European industry and an interview with the Soil Association President, Jonathan Dimbleby.
