Organic Heterogeneous Material: a new marketing regime for diversified seed populations

Feb 1, 2022 | Brochure, Organic Regulation

To orientate yourself and understand how to label future OHMs, here is a useful guide accessible to everyone

In 2022 the new European Regulation on organic production will enter into force. Within the regulation, there is the possibility of marketing seeds of ‘organic heterogeneous material’ (OHM) without any obligation to be registered in official catalogues.

Seed4All, the publisher of this booklet, and others actors of the sector believe that this new legislation is a real change for cultivated biodiversity and could reinforce the sustainability of organic agriculture.

This is why it is very important to publicize and explain what the new legislation provides for an involvement of operators.

Give a look to this brochure outlining the regulatory steps to be taken in order to market OHM-labelled varieties.
