Should you wish to sign this petition for the Referendum kindly contact us on: [email protected] Why did we join. The principles of organic all focus on sustainability and thus prohibit the killing of living things uselessly, further more the barbaric practice of hunting leaves considerable amount of damage to the environment, spent cartridges and contaminates our soils with highly poisonous lead. The four principles of organic agriculture are as follows: • The Principle of Health - Organic agriculture should sustain and enhance the health of soil, plant, animal and human as one and indivisible. • The Principle of Ecology - Organic agriculture should be based on living ecological systems and cycles, work with them, emulate them and help sustain them. • The Principle of Fairness - Organic agriculture should build on relationships that ensure fairness with regard to the common environment and life opportunities. • The Principle of Care - Organic agriculture should be managed in a precautionary and responsible manner to protect the health and well being of current and future generations and the environment
