Tilth Alliance is spearheading a new project aimed at better understanding the decision processes around organic certification. Our team is exploring
farmers perceptions of and attitudes towards organic certification in order to gain new insights into what motivates producers to obtain certification, and what barriers exist to becoming certified.
This project will utilize a variety of research methods to explore this topic. Through short surveys, focus groups, individual interviews, and an extensive
review of current research, we hope to gain a broader understanding of the value that farmers in our region place on organic certification.
