Many of you may already know that the Soil Association provides a daily media digest by e-mail with the intention of keeping you up-to-date with latest news and issues related to organic food and farming. It’s free and you can subscribe to it using: action.soilassociation.org/page/s/todaysnews. Our editor signed up a few months ago, has been informed and interested by many of the items and would love to know whether you think it provides information that’s of interest to WWOOF UK’s members. Please use editor@wwoof.org.uk to tell her.
