The aim of the OFS is to encourage the expansion of organic production. Under the scheme, farmers moving from conventional to organic farming methods receive financial help during the conversion process. The scheme is now closed to new applications but has been replaced by Organic Entry Level Scheme.More information about the Organic Farming Scheme can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/organic-farming-how-to-get-certification-and-apply-for-funding.Full metadata can be viewed on data.gov.uk.
