  • Understanding the National Organic Standards: What Service Providers Need to Know
    Understanding the National Organic Standards: What Service Providers Need to Know

    The overall purpose of these training modules is to provide agricultural service providers with enough knowledge to answer questions regarding the National Organic Standards of the USDA's National Organic Program. The development of the eight modules was accomplished through the contributions of individuals from the University of Florida, University of the Virgin Islands, and Kentucky State University. Each module is designed to actively engage participants in gaining knowledge about the key concepts and important components of the regulations. The modules require participants to utilize resources that are particular to the organic regulations and developed by both the private and public sectors. It is our goal that at the end of the trainings, service providers will know the resources that are available to them and will feel comfortable using the resources and addressing the needs of their stakeholders.

    The CD includes readings. ISBN 10: 0-916287-68-8. ISBN 13: 978-0-916287-68-9.
