EGOP stands for The Expert Group On Organic Production – full details here
EGOP “provides comprehensive advice to the organics Four Nations Working Group (FNWG) via the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). Advice is provided on future organic policy and technical issues requiring specific expert advice. The group also helps to review applications and annual reports from third countries and/or third country control bodies.”
I am delighted to have been appointed as a Member of EGOP.
Our Chair is Professor Christine Watson and the twelve-strong committee includes colleagues from the Soil Association (Keith Ball, Sarah Hathway), UKROFS (Robin Fransella) and Green & Black’s (Mark Palmer).
Should be fun.
