Organic September – Organic September is a month-long campaign to raise awareness of the many benefits of organic food and farming.

Organic September celebrates all the organic sector does for climate, nature, and health.

But nature urgently needs our help. Emissions from fossil-fuel based nitrogen fertilisers used in intensive farming are contributing to the climate emergency.

Our rigorous standards ban the use of these fertilisers in organic systems. But we need to send a message to the government that urgent action is needed.
