The European Union is currently working on a new legislation regarding organic agriculture. Among the main changes, they recommend to promote group certifications for small food producers. “Group certification” is an alternative to third-party approaches. It refers to an Internal Control System (ICS) in which both the third-party certification body and the food producers could take part in the certification process. But why don’t we go one step further and go for the development of Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS)?
