Our advice and education work is part of our wider information programme (see also Events and Information and publications).
The aim of our business-oriented work is to communicate organic principles and best practice and to disseminate technical and market information to producers, consultants, food businesses and others, so as to improve both business performance and the delivery of public goods (climate change, animal welfare, biodiversity etc.). We do this through:
- direct one-to-one consultancy and advice
- small and large group training and demonstration events, including our annual organic producer conferences
- publications such as the ORC Bulletin and the Organic Farm Management Handbook, and
- working with producers and other to facilitate the sound development of the organic sector primarily in the UK but also internationally.
Our wider public-oriented education and public relations programme aims to educate and inform students, school children, consumers and civil society more generally about the issues affecting the sustainability of primary food/energy/fibre production and to engage with the media on relevant food, farming and sustainability issues.
The information programme is co-ordinated by Prof. Nic Lampkin with support from Dr Bruce Pearce, Senior Programme Manager, and Roger Hitchings, Principal Consultant with responsibility for Advisory and Education activities.
