Organic Dig for Victory

During the 2nd World War, the UK nearly starved in 1942 due to the German U-Boats sinking the food convoys from the USA. A merchant seaman told me, that in that fateful year one of the convoys was deliberately sacrificed to the U-Boats in order for the others to return to the UK safely, with the sad loss of about 1000 merchant seamen.
Meanwhile, the Dig for Victory campaign in the UK, also fed our embattled troops, at a time when  we were alone, apart from the Free-French, Polish, Anzacs, Canadian and no less than 2 million Indian troops; who held the Germans and Japanese back to a remarkable extent.
But get this! The Dig for Victory campaign on so many tiny allotments was probably only partly organic, but was responsible for 10 % of all the food produced in the UK at the time from only 0.5 % of the land.
Yet again, these figures are stark, in underlying the fact that small scale organic production is far more efficient at feeding the world than large scale chemical production could ever be, and as organic production on larger farms over several years is now outstripping the yields on non organic farms, as the depleted soils recover, so any claims to the contrary are simply bogus !
So don't believe Monsanto GM plaudits, including some in the UK parliament, concerning the need for increased commercial non organic GM production of our food. Such a road will only lead to a collapse in our NHS and increasing suicide rates in our young teenagers. Quantity and quality in our food is what we all require and organic food will only become cheaper if more producers enter the field. The demand for organic food is increasing year by year and this year another 320 acres at Dartington Hall Farm has just gone organic among many others worldwide. The problem for farmers, is the initial drop in yields during the 5 year conversion before the soils begin to recover; this requires more research and lots and lots of worms ha ha !
