IOA Organic Food and Farming Standards

The Organic Food and Farming Standards in Ireland are available to download on this page. This document contains all the information that you will need to know about being an organic operator. 

Organic Food and Farming Standards in Ireland Edition 2

In this document you will notice that under Section 3 General Standards for Organic Livestock Production, there are both Stricter Standards and EU Regulations in some sections. Please note that in order to access all export markets for organic livestock produced in Ireland that producers must operate to the Stricter Standards. Therefore when reading these standards please note that the sections in red (3.06, 3.08 and 3.13) are not the relevant Standards so please read and adhere to the Stricter Standards to be compliant.
