To mark the start of Organic Fortnight today and discuss everything to do with organics, we're joined between 1 and 2pm by Peter Melchett.

Melchett is policy director at the UK organic food and farming organisation, the Soil Association, which has organised the fortnight of events from a festival to farm visits. Whatever you want to ask on organic produce and issues, this is your chance.

Interested in Zac Goldsmith's idea that food for schools, hospitals and care homes should be organic? Want to quiz Melchett on a specific aspect of the Soil Association's work, such as how it certifies organic products? Got a question about organic food and climate change? Or do you want to ask about the recent decline of organic sales?

Just post your questions below. Melchett will be online from 1-2pm to do his best to answer.
