Profile
The Organic Growers Alliance (OGA) aims to bring growers together so that through its alliance it has the ability to promote member interests, wherever matters affecting their work are determined, and the means to benefit individually and collectively from opportunities to share experience of growing.
The OGA seeks to represent the interests of organic growers generally where those interests are influenced or affected, and in particular to the following bodies:
- DEFRA
- ACOS
- Certifiers
- Research organisations e.g. HDRA, HDC
- Regional support centres
Members benefit from the Alliance's annual or biennial symposium and a number of farm walks each year in different parts of the UK. The Alliiance also produces an organic horticultural journal dedicated to covering all aspects of organic growing. In addition support is made available to members in dealing with certifiers and statutory bodies.
