[Sc-aquaponics] Certified Naturally Grown Posts Draft Aquaponic Standards for Public Review

[Hannah Ramer]

September, 2015 - Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) has excited to announce
that our draft certification standards for aquaponic operations have been
released for public review. CNG has been working in consultation with
an Aquaponics
Advisory Council  <http://www.cngfarming.org/aquaponics_council>to develop
a new program to certify aquaponics operations. The draft CNG aquaponics
standards are posted at www.cngfarming.org/aquaponics.

We are seeking feedback on these standards from diverse perspectives,
including aquaponic producers, researchers, soil-based farmers, and
interested members of the public. We are collecting feedback via an online
survey, available on online on the same webpage
<http://www.cngfarming.org/aquaponics> where you can find the draft
standards. The public review period will be open until Monday, October 12.
CNG anticipates the new aquaponics certification program will launch by
January, 2016. Sign up to receive updates on the program's development at
www.cngfarming.org/aquaponics.
