The price of apparently cheap food is costing nothing less than the Earth!
Prince Charles

Organic farming has been shown to provide major benefits for wildlife and the wider environment. The best that can be said about genetically engineered crops is that they will now be monitored to see how much damage they cause.
Prince Charles
