The Organic Coalition of Tasmania (OCT) was formed in December 2000.
The aims of the OCT are;
- To provide a single, united voice to represent the interests and concerns of the Tasmanian Organic Industry,
- To promote research and development, training and education in Organic Agriculture.
All organic groups operating in Tasmania participate in the OCT. The OCT does not get involved with certification issues as these are more appropriately dealt with by the certification bodies.
See also OCT’s Strategic plan.
The Coalition is fully incorporated, with a membership consisting of;
- Full membership ($200); a representative with full voting rights
- Associate membership (Organisations $50, Individuals $30)
The current full membership and representatives are;
- Bio-Dynamics Tasmania (BD Tas): Graeme Roberts and Estelle Newman
- Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA): Greg Whitten and John Farrar
- National Ass’n for Sustainable Agric. Aust. (NASAA): Jim Rossiter and Justin Galati
- Organic Growers of Australia (OGA): Graeme Elphinstone
- Tasmanian Organic-Dynamic Producers (TOP): Joe Gretschmann and Julie Page
