On June 14, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP) hosted a one-hour training webinar for organic handlers on Organic Integrity in the Supply Chain. Organic handlers play a vital role in the global organic control system, which includes strict production standards; accreditation of certifiers; certification of farmers, processors and handlers; and enforcement.
We are offering the webinar again on June 28 for those who may have had audio issues or could not participate in the first webinar.
We are also sharing the following resources that relate to this important topic:
