Advice for farmers from Organic Inspection Bodies

The main function of the organic inspection bodies is inspection and certification of organic operators. Each of the inspection bodies also recommend and work closely with some independent advisors, details of which are available from each office.

Furthermore the organic inspection bodies organise farm walks during the growing season.
