Mr. John Liston:

I am one of ten organic dairy farmers who farm collaboratively to add value to our product. Being organically certified with IOFGA has allowed us to make product and export to America, Germany, France, the Far East and the Middle East.

Some years ago, four of our farmers undertook biodiversity studies with Dr. Jane Stout of Trinity College, Dublin. Biodiversity levels on those farms were significantly higher than on conventional neighbouring farms.
