IOIA

The International Organic Inspectors Association (IOIA) is a non-profit, professional association of organic farm, livestock, and process inspectors dedicated to verification of organic production practices.

The mission of IOIA is to address issues and concerns relevant to organic inspectors, to provide quality inspector training and to promote integrity and consistency in the organic certification process.

IOIA provides organic inspector training and networking services world-wide.
We have 237 inspector or apprentice inspector members from 15 countries who conduct inspections for a wide variety of private and government organic certification bodies worldwide.

IOIA was founded in 1991 by organic inspectors who recognized the need for uniform inspector processes and protocols to build inspector skills and promote public confidence.

In 2008, our membership voted to change the name of our association to better reflect our growing international scope.
