	UK SUPERMARKET CHAIN TAKES ORGANIC LEAD
		Supermarket chain Iceland has bought up nearly 40% of the world's organic vegetable crop to meet growing demand from customers.
		Iceland is also ploughing £1m (US$1.5 million) into the National Trust, the UK's biggest landowner, for a project to develop more organic land.
		Iceland's managing director, Russell Ford, said it was a long-term investment prompted by a survey suggesting that three out of four customers would prefer to buy organic goods if they were cheaper than current prices.

		Iceland is able to hunt whales under a loophole which allows whaling for “scientific” reasons, and resumed whaling in 2003.
		Iceland has killed 101 whales in the last three years and intends to harpoon more whales this year, despite the fact that 86% of Icelanders* have not bought any whale meat for at least a year (* according to an IMG Gallup poll carried out in October 2005).
		An independent study published in Iceland last year found whaling in Iceland was uneconomic due to a tiny market for whale meat within Iceland, failure to sell Icelandic whale meat to Japan and international CITES regulations prohibiting the sale of whale meat to any potential new markets.

		A recent poll revealed that a majority of Icelanders are in favour of resuming commercial whaling, despite international protests and possible effects on its eco-tourism industry.

	Guardian \| Baugur completes the circle by buying a slab of Iceland
		Iceland could soon be answerable to Icelandic owners, it emerged yesterday, following nordic raider Baugur's news that it has become the frozen food chain's largest shareholder.
		Baugur, which means "ring of strength" in ancient Icelandic, revealed it had snapped up 15% of the Big Food Group, which owns the Iceland supermarket chain and the Booker cash-and-carry business.
		The Icelandic firm's spokesman offered an apparently tongue-in-cheek clue to the investment's rationale by remarking that the name of the supermarket chain was something his countrymen had long wished to change.

		Iceland's government has argued in the past that the stocks of minke and fin whales in Iceland's coastal waters are robust enough to permit the resumption of whaling.
		Iceland, which is a traditional whaling nation, quit the IWC in a dispute over the hunting ban 10 years ago and when it tried to rejoin last year, saying it could best influence the whaling debate from within the organization, it was only granted observer status.
		Whale meat went on sale at Icelandic supermarkets Monday for the first time in nearly 14 years, as the government said it was just a matter of time before Iceland resumes commercial whaling.

		But that holiday was rudely interrupted as the share price slump at Iceland left Mr Walker in the uneviable position of facing a torrent of media criticism about his sale of shares five weeks before the firm released a profits warning.
		His exit from Iceland not only deprives the UK business sector of a rare ethically-led executive, it renders almost extinct a rare breed of supermarket boss - the founder and chairman.
		Iceland's recent performance would hint that the less hold Mr Walker has had on the company, the less hold the company has had on its customers.

		That was then, today Icelanders are free of violence, even the police don't carry weapons and you can see the children left by themselves down town without being worried about them being kidnapped as we hear so sad news about in other countries.
		Since the settlement of Iceland in 874, Icelanders have used a traditional way of preserving food, the way is to dry it.
		If you check your supermarket, you may find fish, but if it is Icelandic fish, it may cost a little bit more, but that is the value of the fresh non-polluted food the world is now looking for.

		Supermarket competitors reacted coolly, saying Iceland was a late entrant into the organic stakes, and only accounted for 1% of organic sales.
		Iceland says it will still pay organic farmers for the higher costs of production incurred in agriculture without pesticides or artificial fertilisers, but will itself absorb the cost of levelling its organic prices, which it estimates will be £8m a year.
		Iceland's latest move is an equally shrewd mix of environmental action and aggressive marketing and its significance was recognised at once by both the green movement and the grocery trade.

		This sample was smaller than desired, and had a more limited geographical coverage than desired, thereby reducing the extent to which the store survey findings can be taken as representative of the retailer’s overall performance in terms of local sourcing.
		None of the Iceland stores included in the survey had any local varieties of the six foods selected for inclusion in the survey.
		In terms of numbers of varieties, the average numbers for those stores who stocked these locality foods were quite low: 1.25 varieties of locality potatoes, 1.5 varieties of locality apples, 1.89 varieties of fresh lamb, 2.5 varieties of fresh beef and about 6 varieties of locality cheese.

		Brenda Openshaw stunned her local Iceland supermarket when she went in and asked if she could have an extra 1000 carrier bags with her weekly shop.
		Brenda has been making these freezer bag creations for the past five years and claims that there is an art to cutting up the carrier bags and turning them into yarn to allow her to "knit" the bags into whatever takes her fancy – or, what her family and friends request.
		An average sized Iceland bag bikini would use around four carrier bags which are torn into plastic 'string' to create the materials needed for the job.

		We had a short break on a supermarket next to the road to stock us with the most important supplies, especially food, and some stops due to exhaustion.

		The chairman of Iceland, the supermarket chain, has told a court that it was almost "biologically impossible" for products to be completely free of genetically modified material.
		Malcolm Walker, who introduced a ban on GM ingredients in products retailed by Iceland, said a guarantee could not be given that crops were not contaminated from pollen spread by birds and bees.
		He said tests were carried out on 300 of Iceland's products and just one was found to contain one part per 500,000 of GM material.

		There has been a lot of talk about this in Icelandic webmagazines lately and the president of one of the right winged youth associations wrote a piece where he expressed his views on the matter.
		There he said that abortions should be banned on the grounds that the right's of the fetus should almost always overweigh the rights of the mother.

		Manager of Iceland’s Talbot Street store in Dublin John McKenna confirmed the Perkins’ products had been taken off the shelves pending the outcome of an investigation into the food safety breech.
		It had been thought that the problem affected only UK outlets but Iceland confirmed yesterday that its eight stores in the Republic had also withdrawn the Perkins onion bhaji product because it was processed in the same facility as Perkins’ Premier Nuggets.
