Science-based training for agriculture advisors
OATS, the Organic Agronomy Training Service, is a collaboratively-managed training program for agricultural advisors working with organic or transitioning farmers in the United States. We seek to grow domestic organic production by strengthening the educational support network of agronomists, certified crop advisors, extension agents, and technical service providers. Our aim is for every transitional and certified organic farmer to have robust access to technical service expertise to provide unbiased, science-based agronomic support for their farming operation.
“There's hope to change from conventional to organic in a way that is profitable...There's a lot of promise.”
