Vegan Organic Network

Vegan-organics is any system of cultivation that avoids artificial chemicals and sprays, livestock manures and animal remains from slaughter houses. Alternatively, fertility is maintained by vegetable compost, green manures, crop rotation, mulches, and any other method that is sustainable, ecologically viable and not dependent upon animal exploitation. This will ensure long term fertility, and wholesome food for this and future generations

Vegan-organics is but one aspect of a dynamic culture. Our commitment is to peace and justice for people, animals and the environment in a sustainable balance. To achieve this we must change our lifestyles and introduce a philosophy which will continue to maintain our unique planet. We are motivated by our awareness of the great unease in society that we are moving towards a world that can no longer sustain life in the natural way it has always evolved. The Vegan-Organic Trust attempts to come to grips with politics and ethics in everyday living.

To achieve sustainable agriculture there has to be a new relationship between food producers and the economic system. We do not want economic policies which condemn millions to poverty, ill health and death. In this country (the UK) we want to free the 85% of land that is currently used directly, or indirectly to feed animals. This will liberate both us and them from the cruelty of the slaughterhouse, and will release land for the production of plant foods and provide natural habitats for animals.

The economics of this major change have yet to be calculated, but we consider that subsidies should only be paid to encourage this transition.Social and spiritual well-being within society can only be achieved when we work together co-operatively towards a common aim that takes crises, droughts, famines, excesses and waste out of the equation.
