Empowering Farmers: PGS Certification for Organic Farming with Community Support

Through the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS), GREEN Foundation enables organic farming certification. This collaborative approach involves farmers and stakeholders in validating the authenticity of organic produce. Small-scale and marginal farmers, who make up around 70% of India's agricultural industry, can now acquire organic farming certification thanks to PGS, which takes the place of expensive third-party audits. In addition to providing farmers with greater financial security by allowing them to command higher prices for their produce, this certification increases credibility for consumers looking for organic produce. Since many farmers are ignorant of the benefits of certification, GREEN also helps to increase farmer awareness of those benefits. https://www.greenfoundation.in/certification/
