Awareness Month 2020 – Get Involved: Producers

Awareness Month: How Can Producers Get Involved?
Are you a certified organic producer, or looking to become one?
Australian Organic Awareness Month (or AOAM for short) is all about supporting the certified organic industry in Australia. As a producer, certified organic or not, there’s so many ways you can get involved this September.
For conventional producers, you can begin by learning more about becoming certified organic, including organic standards and the certification process.
For certified organic producers, you can get involved by educating consumers on why certified organic is the best choice, explaining the importance of looking for organic certification marks, and letting them know where they can buy your certified organic produce.
We’ve put together a few simple ways you can get involved.
