Choosing organic products makes a huge difference to our impact on the planet and its future. Organic agriculture is better for our health as well as the environment’s, helping to minimise water pollution, increase soil quality, boost biodiversity and minimise pesticide residue.

Every year as the Soil Association’s Organic September initiative rolls around, it’s the perfect opportunity to learn more about the benefits of organic and to seek out products that have a positive impact. Here are five certified organic buys to try today, plus a little something special so you can treat yourself while saving money.
