The Namibian Organic Association assesses Namibian farms according to IFOAM’s Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS). It is a locally focused organic assurance system for Namibian organic produce which provides a credible and cost effective mechanism through which producers can provide an organic guarantee to consumers.
It is based on a transparent, formal, and systemized decision making process, and NOA members are invited to participate in this process as observers.
