bioC.info - Completion of the register of certified organic operators
Project
Project code: 2811OE045
Contract period: 01.07.2011
- 31.03.2012
Budget: 18,742 Euro
Purpose of research: Networks and research co-ordination
The aim of this project is to enhance www.bioC.info to a complete register of all controlled organic operators in Germany. Some inspection bodies did not publish
their data on bioC so far. Through integration of their registers a central research possibility towards organic operators in Germany should be generated. Thereby the search of certified organic operators will be facilitated for consumers. Inspection bodies as well as commercial and processing enterprises receive a central and easy access to data according suppliers. These information include whether a supplier is at present subordinate to the organic inspection procedure and entitled to market products with reference to organic farming. For this reason such a register contributes to do the existing inspection and certification procedure for organic food as well as the quality assurance system of companies of the organic branch more effective and safer.
Within the framework of a status quo census, it will be determined in which form the relevant data of the inspection bodies are available. According to this, two different models for data retrieval will be developed in cooperation with the inspection bodies: directly in the database of the inspection body or through the website of the inspection body. In line with a workshop, the concepts will be discussed and adapted with the inspection bodies.
The core functionality of bioC is free of charge available for all visitors of the Internet platform. The use of the search function is therefore free for all users up to the call-off order of article 29-Certification. The developed concepts and technical conversion will be documented and placed at the disposal of the inspection bodies. A final report is provided to the payment donor and published in an adequate form on orgprints.org.
