PGS – Enabling Organic Production System for Small Holders

Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS) have been established to help the hundreds of smallholder farmers in India who are unable to gain cost-prohibitive certifications for organic farming. These systems allow access to a fair and transparent market system and grant farmers a direct stake holding in the supply chain of clean and safe food. This profile outlines cases where PGS has helped all of the stakeholders in the organic supply chain.
