Summary

This paper aims to enhance public-private collaboration on policy, regulation and trade facilitation including equivalence and harmonization, particularly for the organic agriculture sector but also providing useful models for GAP and other VSS. It will serve as a reference and discussion point for activities in the 'organic laboratory' of the UNFSS. Furthermore, it is a capacity development reference for governments, civil society and the private sector to initiate collaborative policy development.
