About Organic Centre Wales |
About Organic Centre Wales: Organic Centre Wales (OCW) was established in 2000 as a focal point for the dissemination of information on organic food and farming to producers and other interested parties in Wales. It has since extended its focus to public education, public procurement, policy and strategy development, thus providing support to the whole of the organic community in Wales. It is based at Aberystwyth University.OCW is run by a partnership of three organizations actively involved in organic farming research and knowledge transfer in Wales: ADAS, The Organic Research Centre Elm Farm and Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences at Aberystwyth University. OCW core staff are responsible for the co-ordination of the different areas of activity, with the partners responsible for much of the delivery of services to producers and others. In late 2011 the funding for OCW comes from a Welsh Government (WG) contract for the Organic Conversion Information Service together with funds from the European Union EAFRD which provides the Better Organic Business Links Supply Chain Efficiencies project for the organic sector.
