Organic farmers welcome support for EU certification move
A move that would see more small-holders and community gardeners entering organic, it is one of several positives in the European Commission’s proposed new organic regulations, says Gavin Lynch, PR and development officer with Organic Trust.
“Overall there are a lot of positives, but the devil will be in the detail,” said Mr Lynch. “A lot of regulations tend to be driven by the EU’s bigger organic countries. When you have scale, it is much easier to plan ahead in the organic sector.
