The UK's Soil Association recently produced a document entitled 'The Road to 2020', which lays out the organisation's priorities for the next few years.
The document focuses on two key themes: 'Facing the future' and 'Good food for all'.
According to the Soil Association, the first theme will promote 'solutions that meet the needs of people for healthy food, fuel and fibre while protecting the natural world'.
The orgnisation said that a new emphasis would be placed on innovation, so that research could quickly be transmuted into practice and policy.
It also announced the creation of the new post of director of innovation, to be filled at the end of the year by Dr Tom MacMillan, current executive director of the Food Ethics Council.
The Soil Assocation's second theme, 'Good food for all', highlights its commitment to ensuring that organic, seasonal, healthy food is accessible to everyone, particularly those who most need it.
