The Soil Association is a membership charity and is the driving force behind the organic movement, campaigning for the health of the environment, animals, food and people.

Our symbol can be found on over 80% of the UK's organic produce - a guarantee that the food you have purchased has been grown or produced to the highest standards.

The Soil Association was founded in 1946 by a group of farmers, scientists and nutritionists who observed a direct connection between farming practice and plant, animal, human and environmental health.

Today the Soil Association is the UK's leading organic organisation, with over 180 staff based in our Bristol headquarters, in regional centres and working as certification inspectors across the country.
