About us
Welcome to PGS
Organic Council
Since 2006, PGSOC has been a cause-driven social organization advocating for an alternative certification system that prioritizes fairness, radical transparency, and empowerment. We believe every meal has a story, and it tastes better when you know where it comes from.
India's diverse farming communities deserve a platform to thrive. PGSOC works with small and marginal organic producers, farmer organizations, civil society, and consumers to create a verifiable, inclusive, and sustainable organic food system.
Our Mission
Empowered Farmers,
