Organic Inspection Checklist

One of the essential objectives of organic regulations is to allow farmers and producers to benefit from the work they have done with their soils and land, which they have nurtured over the years. An organic inspection checklist is a set of questions designed to verify whether the farmer has followed the main principles and regulations of organic agriculture. This checklist allows verifiers to ensure that the method is verifiably organic, free from synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetic manipulation, and environmental issues.
