Market development research. Other Certification agencies should get some money. Possibly this funding should go to support individual grower initiatives. Provides support to new initiatives for grower ie, subsidies. On farm research is possibly better.
Research needs to be commercially based.
Linkage of farmers on how to communicate ie, there is a fragmentation problem with growers scattered and isolated. Need to resolve that. This is seen by some as a good example for a research process ie, see an operation that is working and see how things worked. Possibly regional existing organic farms looked at and selected by the group. Determine what should be monitored and this could then determine future research priorities defined by the monitor farm group.
