IFOAM Internal Control Systems Training Kit for Producers - English
Organic certification is a prerequisite to the labelling and marketing of organic produce as “organic” in most countries and provides consumers with the insurance that products are effectively grown according to the principles of organic agriculture. In developing countries, group certification of smallholder farmers can be implemented through Internal Control Systems, which are generally cheaper and more feasible than individual third party certification.

The IFOAM training kit: "Smallholder Group Certification - Training Curriculum for Producer Organizations", provides trainers with the information and the training materials necessary to organize training on ICS for smallholder groups.

The training kit encompasses:
  • The training manual for trainers, entitled 'Smallholder Group Certification:Training Curriculum for Producer Organizations'
  • The 'Guidance Manual for producer Organizations' in PDF version
  • The training slides in Power point & PDF version.
This training kit for producer organizations is also available in CD (100 Euro) or pdf format (60 Euro). This manual can be downloaded for free exclusively for IFOAM Members. The CD includes the manual in English, Spanish and French. All documents are in Word and Powerpoint format.

This manual is also available in Turkish, Spanish, French.
