National Organic Standard Bill 2024
Pursuing domestic regulation of Australia's organic sector
19 November marked an important milestone in our industry’s pursuit of domestic regulation of the term ‘organic’, with the National Organic Standard Bill 2024 read into the Senate.
If passed, this Bill will establish the National Standard for Organic and Bio-dynamic Produce as the mandatory domestic certification standard for businesses selling organic products.
A full media release on the Bill is provided below
In order to garner maximum support of the proposed Bill from all sides of politics and give it the best chance of being passed, Australian Organic Limited along with our industry partners in the Organic Development Group (ODG), encourage organic operators and consumers to raise their voices to highlight why domestic regulation is so important for consumer protection and to facilitate new growth in our industry.
