Organic farming can offer many different job opportunities.

This certification requires farmers to meet different criteria than a conventional farmer would follow. The farmer should allow his farm animals access to outdoor areas and support animal health. This is very important for consumers who care about animal welfare. Furthermore, all materials used must be approved organic products. These farmers agreed to “preserve natural resources and biodiversity” (USDA 2014). This involves extra labor to process the crops without heavy tillage. The farm would also be open to annual inspections. All of these standards set by the USDA require people certified or trained in the organic produce industry to operate the farm properly. Depending on the size of the farm, this could also include office jobs, such as sales, marketing and more
