Organic Livestock Workbook (Summary)
NCAT's Organic Livestock Workbook (Summary)
This
workbook has been created to assist organic and transitional
producers with livestock or mixed crop and livestock operations
in understanding the range of practices and materials allowed
under the National Organic Program Regulations. Particular emphasis
is placed on farming strategies and practices that promote sustainability.
This workbook should be especially useful to growers contemplating
conversion to organic production, and to those who are in the
early years of transition. Much of the useful information in
the workbook is presented as brief discussions. Numerous footnotes
are also provided; these give you additional details, explain
terminology, and suggest further sources of information. You
will also find a number of questions at the end of each section,
which serve as a checklist for sustainable practices and for
preserving organic integrity. There are a number of questions
that draw particular attention to areas that may affect eligibility
for certification.
