		The Henry Doubleday Research Association (HDRA) is a British organisation dedicated to researching and promoting organic gardening, farming and food.
		HDRA is a registered charity, and Europe's largest organisation in this field.

	Henry Doubleday Research Association
		Henry Doubleday Research Association (H.D.R.A.) was started in 1970 with a membership of gardeners, smallholders and farmers committed to going organic.
		The HDRA organic gardens, maintained by members at Hawkesbury EarthCare Centre, cover half a hectare and are a living demonstration of sustainable growing methods.
		A founding member of H.D.R.A., Dick McNeill, smallholder and orchardist at Kurrajong, NSW, was the first grower in Australia to be given organic certification by NASAA in 1987.

	RESEARCH METODOLOGIES IN ORGANIC FARMING (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Major research activities in organic farming started in the 1970s, with the Institute for Biodynamic Research in Germany, FiBL in Switzerland, the Louis Bolk Institute in Holland, the Elm Farm Research Centre and the Henry Doubleday Research Association in the UK and the Rodale Institute in the USA.
		Researchers have had to legitimize their analytical approach vis-à-vis the intuitive "trial and error" method of the pioneers since the very beginning.
		To become holistic, the EC Workshop in Belgium in 1992 concluded: "We recommend that [organic farming] research on crops and pasture should be done in the context of crop rotations." (MacNaeidhe, 1992).

	Collaboration—Pesticides Trust and Henry Doubleday Research Association (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		HDRA is a leading association of organic gardeners and growers.
		The HDRA Local Authority Membership Scheme was established at the beginning of 1993 and has attracted interest from councils who are under ever-increasing pressure to adopt environmentally friendly work methods, and will also soon be required by law to recycle 25% of all the waste collected from their residents.
		The collaboration between the Pesticides Trust and HDRA is therefore a natural step forward for both organizations.
