The Company is an organic certification and inspection company certifying over 50% of the UK land area and around a third of all the UK organic sector. The Company also certifies operators running anaerobic digesters, woodland & carbon and compost businesses. The Company is now accredited to certify the Forestry Commission’s Woodland Carbon Code and the IUCN Peatland Code that is seeking to stabilise the erosion of upland peat bogs and begin to reverse this. The Company has helped developed the certification and now certifies members of the Pasture-Fed livestock Association (PFLA). In the past year the Company’s activities have benefitted the Community in the following ways: The Company continues to sponsor a Harper Adams University post graduate scholarship to undertake a one-year MSc in Agroecology and the CEO sits on the risk and Audit Board as well as The Board at Warwickshire College group which has two agricultural sites at Moreton Morrell and Pershore. The company organises the annual National Organic Combinable Crops event. The largest on-farm organic conference that brings together organic and non-organic farmers, traders, millers, bakers and retailers in an on-farm setting to support the development of the organic sector in the UK and is very proactive within the agricultural industry as a whole and helping to lead the drive into regenerative agriculture. The Company has been instrumental in preparing various policy papers looking at the benefits of organic food especially in terms of the new Defra SFI and Countryside Stewardship policy and published a policy paper “Highlighting benefits of 10% organic English farmed area”( https://ofgorganic.org/news/of-g-white-paper-highlights-benefits-of-organic-land-use) which identifies value of organic farming both in terms of the public goods delivered by organic at scale. The Company has worked in collaboration with other organic sector bodies in the compilation of the on-going Defra test and trials project looking at the specific value of organic farming in delivering public goods and subscribes to many farming and food trade organisations. The Company remains actively involved in the SUSTAIN alliance that advocates food and agriculture policies and practises that enhance the health and welfare of people and animals, improves the working and living environment, promotes equity and enriches society and culture. The Company funds one of the two Chairs of the English Organic Forum which through its advocacy has been working closely with Defra in shaping support for organic farmers and a new policy initiative with Defra to shape future Government policy on organic. The English Organic Forum has been instrumental in establishing a “English Organic Policy Forum” that will collaborate with Government to identify and resolve key challenges that face the sector The Company is an active member of the Organic Trade Board (OTB), a not-for-profit organisation that undertakes generic promotion of organic food and farming. The new Company’s CEO is a Director of the OTB. The Company remains actively involved in the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM EU). This organisation promotes and support organic production methods across the Globe. The Company is actively working with the Pasture-Fed Livestock Association looking at sustainability metrics and collaborative research. The Company is actively involved in the delivery of organic farmer specific courses with BASIS. All organic crop and livestock production in the UK can only be carried out by farmers certified by an authorised organic control body. Meeting the requirements for organic certification can be relatively complex, and an understanding of the rules and regulation surrounding organic production is essential. All farmers looking to implement an organic farming system must go through a conversion process, and effectively plan changes to farm management practices for this process to be successful. The course aims to provide the necessary insight to allow this.
The Company continually seeks to improve dialogue with stakeholders. There is a recognised lack of advice and support for organic operators and the Company continues to work in partnership with Abacus Agriculture to provide a portal for interested parties seeking an insight into organic production methods and conversion support. It works actively to build bridges between conventional farming and the organic sector.
