Presentations from the workshop "Organic market data collection and publication procesures: the Code of Practice of the OrganicDataNetwork (OrMaCode)"

Summary

The aim of the workshop is to present the Code of Practice for the initiation and maintenance of good organic market data collection and publication procedures (OrMaCode). The Code of Practice consists of a list of principles/objectives and related indicators covering the different key areas of organic market data collection, processing, storage and publication /dissemination. Associated to the OrMaCode a practical Manual will be produced. The Manual contains specific guidelines for applying OrMaCode. It also contains guidelines for the collection of relevant sets of data and how to ensure that quality criteria specified in the Code of Practice will be met.
The OrMaCode and the Manual, together with the enhanced Database produced throughout the project, are the core outputs of our OrganicDataNetwork project. We want them to be thoroughly discussed among stakeholders.
