How does a farmer go about converting land to organic status?
Converting land to organic status is a three-year process. There is a two-year conversion process consisting of building up the fertility of the land. Produce grown in the first year cannot be stated as organic. In the second year produce may be stated as In Conversion. It is not until the third year that produce may be stated as fully organic. Soil and natural fertility building are important parts of organic farming.
