Organic Arable Farming: an information leaflet for farmers considering conversion to organic production

Demand for organic food has never been higher and with agricultural policy redirected towards the environment, it is a good time to consider conversion. There are a lot of opportunities for conversion to organic arable production.

Is organic farming for you? Is it sufficiently profitable? What are the markets? Are livestock essential? Can weeds be controlled adequately in the long term? How do I go about conversion? This leaflet sets out to answer these questions, explain the options when converting a farm to organic production, and highlights the opportunities and the challenges of meeting the unprecedented demand for organic arable crops.
