We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Fund organic food production to reduce cost
Organic food is more expensive than non-organic food. This means that only richer people can afford to eat healthy organic food. In order to increase health and sustainable practices the Government should make organic food cheaper.
More details
Non-organics use pesticides which are environmental pollutants, use fertilizers (polluting water systems) and degrade top soil.
Agroecology and organic food production do the opposite.
The Government should increase funding for organic food production, so that this becomes cheaper than non-organics, and more accessible to all irrespective of income.
