Why are you invited?
NOA offers organic assessment services to organic producers, in order to provide an organic guarantee to their clients. We are using the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) approach, whereby NOA members are invited to observe the procedure, meet the farmers and learn about organic agriculture. The organic production of the farmer is assessed according to the IFOAM Standards for Organic Production and Processing. If the farmer complies with the standards, the farmer may use the NOA Mark on the product which indicates the organic status of the product. It is therefore useful to read the relevant section on the IFOAM Organic standards.
