Summary

The document is a manual for conversion checks to organic farming in Denmark. Conversion checks are a service for farmers interested in conversion that has been available in Denmark since 2011, as part of a governmental plan to mitigate environmental pollution of agriculture and to protect nature.
The current manual is based on the experience of more than 500 conversion checks performed between 2011 and 2015 by local advice centres.
The manual provides detailed guidance for advisors who support farmers in converting to organic farming, such as how to prepare for, conduct and report the farm visit. The manual emphasises the importance of thorough preparation and clear communication in order to provide farmers with a sound basis for making decisions about converting to organic farming and includes a helpful checklist for conversion-check.
