You need to think about what the Soil Association stands for. Its much more than whether or not your carrots are organic. They bring fair trade into it aswell. Though as you point out fairtrade isnt that much better. I do believe that the soil Association has alot to do with the politics of food and green issues. To be organic is in a sense to be green also,wether thats why you buy/grow it that way or not. The soil association is right to consider removing their label from air freighted food. Yes it is still organic,therefore it will still be able to bear an organic logo. It just wont be the S.A's.
