Organic Trade Association kicks off pilot project to deter organic fraud
The pilot is designed to be an intensive-focused exercise in which participants will "test drive" the fraud prevention and detection strategies developed by the GOSCI Task Force.
The Organic Trade Association (OTA), Washington, D.C., kicked off of a groundbreaking pilot project to prevent and detect fraud in the global organic system.
The 3-month pilot project was initiated by OTA’s Global Organic Supply Chain Integrity (GOSCI) Task Force, which was formed to develop a fraud prevention program designed specifically for the organic industry. The task force created a comprehensive "best practices" guide to facilitate the industry-wide implementation of systems and measures to preserve the integrity of organic, both inside and outside of the United States.
