Organic farm conversion, certified and non-certified
In addition, farmers can convert land without being certified, for example if they decide to make a gradual switch to organic farming. Arable farms can grow organic potatoes and decide to convert their carrot cultivation without certification, for instance. This allows them to convert plots to organic gradually. However, this type of plot conversion is subject to strict requirements. After a period of three years, Skal Biocontrole will assess the non-certified conversion to decide on certification.
