Devon Grows Organically - we're the number one green county!
Devon has been declared the number one organic county according to the latest figures from Defra. The county has more organic food producers and processors than anywhere else in the United Kingdom, with 464 certified organic operators compared the the next highest, Somerset (268 operators).
Devon has several large scale organic producers and processors and a good number of key smaller pioneer farm based businesses that focus on local, direct trade.
This fits well with Devon's aim to be the greenest county, a theme that spans the breadth of the strategic plan.
Devon County Council and the Soil Association have teamed up through a European funded project called RAFAEL to further promote and support the county's local food businesses. The project works with producers and processors to promote their goods and develop their markets and encourage local people to make the most of the delicious, high quality artisan produce grown in their county.
"Sustainable food and farming is a key element to the regeneration of Devon. Promoting and using local quality ingredients is one of the Council's top priorities. By purchasing locally grown seasonal produce, the benefits are fourfold. We can minimise food miles, reduce our carbon footprint, provide a healthy diet in the case of service users and also boost the local economy. It's a tremendous acheivement".
Councillor Humphrey Temperley
