--Important Notice--

After 8 years operating as an independent organisation IOTA has now merged with the Organic Research Center at Elm Farm (ORC).  This very positive move provides a long term operating structure for the Institute and allows us to continue to work closely with our core partners while benefiting from the research, policy and dissemination focus of ORC.

IOTA will continue to provide its unique independent support to all organic advisers and trainers in the form of accreditation, training, information and professional development services. We will maintain our website with technical information, improved access to the results of research and the data base of accredited organic advisers.

The Institute of Organic Training and Advice (IOTA) is a professional body for trainers, advisers and other extension workers involved in organic food and farming.

IOTA has been borne out of a need for recognised standards of professional conduct on the one hand and better access to information, training and support for extension workers on the other.

Launched in 2005, IOTA is an independent organisation developed with support and funding from ADAS, Elm Farm Research Centre, Organic Centre Wales and Soil Association. IOTA is directed by Mark Measures.

IOTA is grateful for the financial contributions from Natural England and Yeo Valley Organics and the support of Abacus Organic Associates.

A register of IOTA Accredited organic advisers for farmers and others seeking advice can now be accessed here.
