From the Paper:

"Organic farming is the most vital part of the organic industry. They are particularly important in the United Kingdom because of the demand for organic products. Organic farming is a unique trade because farmers utilize natural means to produce crops and they have to adhere to very strict regulations. The soil Association explains that under current regulations, land has to be managed organically for at least two years before it can qualify for organic certification (Key elements of organic farming 2005). In addition, a conversion plan including comprehensive cropping plans, rotations and budgets is a vital part of successful integration into organic farming and is a requirement for certification (Key elements of organic farming 2005)."
