RAFFSA offers professional advice to organic farmers, government agencies, and public, private sectors companies on a wide range of organic farming systems. Organic farming relies on the principle of managing naturally occurring biological cycles to provide soil fertility and control weeds, pests and diseases instead of using agrochemicals.
Managing an organic farm requires a holistic whole farm approach that encourages all the complex relationships between soils, micro-organisms, plants and animals to work together effectively alongside a stress-free farmer to achieve a productive and sustainable farming system. RAFFSA have a wide range of experience of organic farming systems and provide expert technical advice on a range of topics including converting to organic production, rotation and crop planning, nutrient budgeting, soil management and the preparation and maintenance of livestock health and management plans.
Our team consultants provide technical expertise across a broad range of organic farming systems, managing projects on livestock, arable and vegetable farms across the country. RAFFSA advisers work directly on farm and with corporate clients delivering management advice from field to fork, across the entire supply chain.
