Review of International Approaches to Organic Regulations and Labelling

With the UK's exit from the EU comes the chance to potentially adapt national organic regulations. Various options are available, ranging from keeping the current EU approach to considering adopting alternative models (or parts thereof) used in other third countries.

The central aim of this project is to scope out the differences in national organic regulations between the UK, EU, EEA countries, the recognised third countries/equivalence models and other third countries or models of interest, highlighting the key strengths and weakness in order to provide an evidence base for future UK policy direction. The value of a UK specific organic label should also be investigated.
