2011 AGM

Date: 9th July 2011
Location: Kaipatiki Restoration Project Hall, 17 Lauderdale Rd, Birkdale, North Shore, Auckland.

Speakers and discussions, led by OFNZ members, included:

1. Organics Online: Update us on the situation of ‘Organics Online’, a web-based ‘pay-and-go’ organic certification that is based in Taranaki. A complaint has been lodged with the Commerce Commission.

2. Tomato/Potato Psyllid: Information about the potato/tomato psyllid, that poses a serious threat to both commercial production of important vegetable crops, and also to home gardeners and their ability to produce the traditional staple home-grown foods, potatoes and tomatoes. Jim Bennett (OFNZ BOP) has produced a questionnaire to gather information from organic farmers about this, – Read more and participate in our organic farmer questionnaire

3. Processor Certification: Discussion about OFNZ certifying processors. Pros and cons, and making it work.

4. OANZ (Organics Aotearoa NZ): Update us about recent OANZ meetings and the state of play for our national organics umbrella group.

5. OFNZ – our future?: OFNZ is a member-owned organisation, founded on member participation so as to provide a robust scheme for a very low fee.  OFNZ will flourish provided all members engage in the overall process. Failing to do so will leave OFNZ vulnerable to decline. So what does our future hold?
