Conversion to organic means changing a farm’s production and management practices so they align with organic certification requirements. The process may involve reviewing land history, inputs, crop and livestock practices, buffer considerations, recordkeeping, and certification planning. Organic transition planning helps farmers understand the requirements, identify operational changes, and coordinate ecological and business considerations before pursuing certification.
