Farmers as well as gardeners need a way of knowing that commercial garden products are suitable for use and that they satisfy recognised standards.
Allowed Inputs are agricultural products registered and recognised for allowed use in organic production systems under the Australian Organic Standard.
Many BFA Allowed Inputs are available for sale from agricultural supply stores as well as large hardware and nursery chain store outlets.
