The aim of this project is to establish a certification program for inputs for organic farming. Thereby, a transparent and efficient program for certification of inputs will be developed to ensure that the products can be used in organic farming without having negative impacts on produced and manufactured organic food for manufacturers and users. Individual objectives are: • Establishment of a transparent, broadly supported branch standard as basis for the certification of inputs for organic farming • Additional security tools for Association Standards in order to hedge the area of inputs and to make it more consistent with the principles of organic farming • Additional security tools for quality-orientated traders, farmers and manufacturers of organic products • Services for manufacturers of inputs who would like to have their products certified and wish or need an appropriate labelling option (QA instrument, marketing instrument) • Orientation guides for environment-conscious private gardeners when buying inputs for the private garden area
