The roots of organic agriculture
12:26
Henry Rolf Gardiner was one of those who revived the British agriculture. He also restored the tradition of folk Morris dance, including the dance with sword. He founded the most important group in the history of British organic farming. It is believed that he shared the views of the National Socialists and participated in the ultra-right movement (there is an assumption based on his sympathies to the relevant German youth movements of the time). His methods of agriculture were quite progressive for that time, so he became the founder of the Soil Association, which still exists today.
As a student, he was editor of the magazine "Youth" ( "Youth") since 1923. The publication was founded in 1920 and at that time supported by the left movement. During this magazine Gardiner began to focus on the international community and "Germanophiles" reflecting his political interests.
In a series of publications since 1928, he formed some racial theories, and also showed the need for national cohesion. He wished a pagan and eco centric association Germany and England, and was a supporter of the pro-NS people's policy.
In 1929 he wrote an essay in approving the "Times" Literary Supplement of Jugendbewegung (Youth Movement in Germany) about the authenticity of his world. His views on folk music and dancing were considered fundamentalist, and whatever it was, he soon formed small groups and formations, and not political organizations.
According to reports, he expressed anti-Semitic views in 1933 in the first letter in German. Gardiner was also a member of the English Mystery (English Mistery - political and esoteric group, founded and operative in the United Kingdom in 1930), as well as English Stroy (English Array), founded in 1936. Gardiner was published in the quarterly newspaper of England Building, and was an apologist for the German leadership, the dictatorship and racial regeneration.
His philosophy began its journey from the belief in a fair and equitable result of the work and eventually came to the vision of the relationship between the health of the soil, animals, culture and people.
At the end of the Second World War, he collaborated with Richard Walther Darre, a member of the SS and Minister of the food and agricultural industry of the NSDAP, which was a key person in the context of human interaction, soil and land.
In 1941, together with the HJ Massingemom, Gerald Vallopom and Lord Lymington, he formed the Kinship in Husbandry (literally - the relationship with agriculture) - a group consisting of a dozen men. This organization was the predecessor of the Association of the soil (soil association), which was founded in 1946.
From an official position the organization caused much less suspicions than other organizations and parties who hold the ultra-right-wing -as it was self-sufficient and agrarian oriented. Gardiner also had a significant influence on the ideology and activities of the Rural Revival and the Biodynamic Association, founded in 1935 by Montague Fordham.
As for the Soil Association (soil association), it was built only in part because of concerns about intensive farming and, in particular, the use of herbicides.

One of the founders of the Soil Association, along with Rolf Gardiner, was Jorian Jenks,, a former member of the British Union of Fascists (BUF), closely associated with Oswald Mosley. Jenks was for many years the editor of the magazine of the Association of "Mother Earth". At the end of 1940 the Association included extreme right and even anti-Semitic elements.
The Soil Association exists and successfully develops until today, and is a non-charitable company whose activity is aimed at protecting consumer health and the environment. Its main office is in the UK. Today, it has more than 27,000 employees. Organic farming differs from industry that aims to grow food without harming the environment.
The activities of this organization includes work with the problems of intensive agriculture growth, public education on nutrition. An important area is the certification of organic products. In 1967, for the first time in the world, Soil Association has developed the principles of organic certification by taking a number of specific standards. The list is constantly expanding and already covers such areas as agriculture, ethical trade, food industry, forestry, health and beauty, horticulture and textiles. Now a certification of any products given by Soil Association is a serious guarantee of quality. In the UK Soil Association symbol stands at more than 80% organic ingredients.
Soil Association strictly prohibits the use of plants for growing any substance that may alter their original structure. Under the ban were genetically modified seeds, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides. During the processing of the raw material aren't allowed any chemical preservatives, synthetic colors, synthetic flavors and flavor enhancers, synthetic stabilizers synthetic thickeners (eg starch), genetically modified ingredients, plastic packaging and malware technology: atomic cleavage products, ultrasonic processing, chemical preservation, aeration products, incl in vacuum packing, processing phenol products and surfactants. Even if the use of any of the prohibited substances does not cause harm to the person and is allowed in Great Britain, a product containing it will not receive Soil association symbol on its packaging.
