Meeting at Department of Agriculture
The SMART team visited the Department of Agriculture on Tuesday, Jan 13, to seek further information about government's position on organic farming. The team was briefed by the senior staff of DOA on Malaysian Organic Scheme (SOM) certification. We invited the department to attend our presentation at the University of Putra Malaysia which was accepted by them.
