International
Organic Inspectors Association
aka Independent Organic Inspectors Association
The
International Organic Inspectors Association (IOIA) is a non-profit, professional
association
of organic farm,
livestock, and process inspectors dedicated to verification of organic production
practices.
The
mission of IOIA is to address issues and concerns relevant to organic inspectors,
to provide quality inspector training and
to promote integrity and consistency in the organic certification process.
IOIA
provides organic inspector training and networking services world-wide.
We have 226 inspector or apprentice inspector members from 16 countries who
conduct inspections
for a wide variety of private and
government organic certification bodies worldwide.
IOIA was founded in 1991 by organic inspectors who recognized the need for
uniform
inspector processes and protocols to build inspector skills and promote public
confidence.
In 2008, our membership voted to change the name of our association to
better reflect our growing international scope.
