Organic Week organisers say online events will go ahead
next week and will focus on activities that everyone, no
matter what Covid Alert Level you are in, can
enjoy.
“Organic farmers are a shining light in our
world right now and we aim to celebrate them and the food
they produce,” says Organic Week national coordinator
Tiffany Tompkins. “Organic farmers are essential workers
producing healthy food in safe working conditions free from
toxic synthetic pesticides, insecticides, and fertilisers.
We know this is better for our wildlife, waterways and
for everyone involved.
“Organic Week is about sharing
some of this success, and informing people on what they can
do at home, and in their shopping habits,” says
Tiffany.
Running from 11-19 September, Organic Week
includes a series of exciting and engaging online events,
including a trio of webinars based on the four principles of
organics — health, ecological balance, fairness, and care
— along with the Great Organic Night In featuring the
Organic NZ Awards ceremony hosted by “Bugman” Ruud
Kleinpaste on 17 September.
