Scientific research has confirmed that organic farming is better for Britain¯ wildlife. Foster presented conclusive evidence of its positive effects to the national conference of the Soil Association yesterday, reports the Independent. Ùverwhelmingly, whether it is birds of conservation concern, weed species or butterflies, the wildlife species which have suffered the greatest declines on farmland as a whole over the last 50 years do better under an organic farming system, he said.

Salmon farms face growing criticism because they have spread diseases, pollution and parasites that harm natural marine life in waters around them. Taking their cues from conservation groups, these chefs hope that by influencing eating habits, they can help curtail harmful fishing and fish farming practices that are steadily depleting the world's largest source of protein.

Advanced Commodity Spread While the original Senate farm bill included $21.3 billion in new spending for voluntary U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) conservation programs, negotiators today reached final agreement on spending levels which included only $1.1 billion more than the $16 billion House farm bill figure. Under the agreement, farmers who grow feed grains, cotton and rice would receive 70% of farm bill funds even though they represent just 30% of the nation's farmers.
