Organic Integrity in the Supply Chain:
Training and Resource List
The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic
Program (NOP) protects the integrity of USDA organic products throughout the
world, so consumers can trust the organic label.
Consumers are protected by a global organic
control system that includes: strict standards; certifier accreditation; farm and
business certification; and enforcement. Accredited certifiers, inspectors, and organic
handlers play a vital role in protecting the integrity of organic products from
farm to market in complex supply chains.
The NOP has published two new resources for organic handlers, certifiers, and inspectors.
The first is a half hour training module that reviews the organic control system and key requirements related to Organic System Plans, inspections, and recordkeeping. The second is a Resource List that lists several existing AMS resources related to
inspections and recordkeeping.
