We know all our producers personally. We know the quality of food we are getting because we source it directly.

Dame Vivienne Westwood has said that if people can't afford organic food, "they should eat less".

According to theIndependent,the millionaire fashion designer made a case for everyone eating organic food on Wednesday, while delivering a petition to Downing Street protesting against genetically modified food in the UK.

Following her comments, BBC Radio 5 Live's Dino Sofos pointed out a legitimate flaw in her argument: not everyone can afford to eat organic food.

To this, she simply replied, "Eat less".

Sofos went on to argue that people are already going to food banks because they can't afford to buy food.

"They don't have any choice - this is the point, isn't it," she said.

"You've got all these processed foods, which is the main reason people are getting fat. They're not actually good for you - they don't give you strength, they give you weight.

"I eat vegetables and fruit. I don't eat meat. I believe meat is bad for me so I don't eat it. It's also bad for the animals.

Millionaire fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood has suggested families who cant afford to buy organic food should simply eat less.

She was delivering a petition to Downing Street outlining concerns about genetically modified crops.

But when she was challenged by a BBC Radio 5Live reporter who said not everybody can afford to eat organic food, the 73-year-old replied they should stop eating so much.

However, she softened her tone when it was suggested that eating less isnt an option for the poorest.

Most people are aware that organically grown food is free from exposure to harmful chemicals, but that is only one small part of what organic is about.

A larger part of organic agriculture involves the health of the soil and of the ecosystems in which crops and livestock are raised. Organic agriculture is born from the idea that a healthy environment significantly benefits crops and the health of those consuming them. In addition, organic practices are also viable in the long term, since they are efficient in their use of resources, and do not damage the environment and local communities like large scale "chemical agriculture" does.

LocalHarvest does not restrict its listings to organic producers only, since our mission is first and foremost to support small growers, and then to promote Organic agriculture.

We do track our growers' organic status with the following categories:

There are many organizations worldwide that certify produce as being grown in a manner that does not harm the environment and that preserves or improves soil fertility, soil structure, and farm sustainability. Farms that are certified organic are shown as such in LocalHarvest.

Some of our farms prefer not to pursue an organic certification, but do follow organic principles in growing their produce.

CNG is a grassroots certification program created specifically for farmers that sell locally and directly to their customers. CNG's certification standards are based on the National Organic Program but with some variation, including improved livestock living conditions and more explicit access to pasture requirements.

Organic certification standards are very strict, and it usually takes years for farms the achieve them, as all pesticide and chemical residue from the soil is slowly broken down and leached away. Farms marked as "Transitional" are farms in the process of getting their certification, but that are not quite there yet.

Conventional farming does not necessarily have to be as destructive as large scale chemical agriculture. There are many small farms worldwide that sparingly use chemicals when needed, and that otherwise follow good guidelines in the care of their environments and communities. We list those farms in LocalHarvest too.

Based on a series of lectures given by Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1924, Biodynamics is a method of agriculture which seeks to actively work with the health-giving forces of nature. It is the oldest non-chemical agricultural movement, predating the organic agriculture movement by some 20 years and has now spread throughout the world.

"I eat vegetables and fruit. I dont eat meat. I believe meat is bad for me so I dont eat it. Its also bad for the animals.

"If there was a movement to produce more organic food and less of the horrible food, then organic food would obviously be a good value price, wouldnt it?"

In the interview, for 5 Lives Afternoon Edition, Dame Vivienne spoke about her environmental campaigning.

"We need to change to a green economy and a green world and that is easy to do. The alternative is hell," she said.
