Lawerence

Lawrence Woodward OBE

The question “How do we feed ourselves when oil and other finite resources run out?” led in 1975 to my farming organically.  It was still pressing when I co-founded and began to direct the UK’s leading organic R&D Centre in 1980. But over the 30 plus years in that role I became obsessed by health questions; what makes a “healthy” farm?  What qualities does it have? How are these passed on in its food and environment to people and animals? These are the unanswered questions of my professional life.

A founder and director of the Organic Research Centre (ORC) for 30 years, Lawrence advises and speaks about the principles and methods of organic agriculture to a wide range of organisations. In 2001 he was awarded an O.B.E. for services to organic farming, having played a pivotal role in the strategic and practical development of the organic sector in the UK and internationally.
