The Soil Association are the UK’s biggest organic certification scheme. Despite Animal Equality uncovering shocking cruelty and unacceptable conditions on one of their dairies, they have refused to drop the farm.

We’ll be there with iAnimal, bringing our life changing virtual reality films to the Green Futures Field.

Its February, the shops are full of love, hearts and flowers, which can only mean one thing. Valentines day!
You’ve done it! you’ve tried vegan for a month.
