Ensuring Effective Control and Fostering Trust in Organic Trade
My Work as an Independent Expert
As an independent consultant, I support institutions and ministries outside the EU in developing and optimizing control systems for organic products. My goal is to facilitate market access to the EU by strengthening regulatory frameworks and improving market oversight mechanisms.
With extensive experience in EU organic regulations and a long-term hands-on work in a control body, I understand both the regulatory requirements and the challenges of implementation on the ground. This unique combination enables me to develop practical, tailored solutions for different countries and projects.
✔ Regulatory Consulting: Analyzing and
optimizing national legislation in alignment with EU
requirements
✔ Strategy Development: Enhancing the
efficiency and credibility of control systems
✔ Workshops & Training: Knowledge transfer
on organic standards, market requirements, and control
mechanisms
✔ Risk Assessment & Quality Assurance:
Strengthening the integrity of the organic market through
in-depth risk analysis
My work focuses on building sustainable structures. The objective is to provide long-term benefits for both producers and regulatory authorities.
Let’s work together to maximize market opportunities for organic products in the EU!
My Experience
The countries where I have recently worked as a consultant
include Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, and India. While my
work in India focused on specific challenges related to
exporting organic products to the EU, my efforts in Ukraine and
Moldova were primarily aimed at aligning their organic
regulations with EU legislation and ensuring the effective
implementation of these laws.
Since 2021, I have been working at the Bavarian State Institute
for Agriculture, the authority responsible for overseeing the
organic product market in Bavaria. My work is
interdisciplinary, with a particular focus on developing the
control system for imported organic products that must undergo
inspection before being released for free circulation. This
area is now organized within a dedicated working group, which I
lead.
Through my many years of experience at a private certification
body until early 2021, I have gained in-depth expertise in the
inspection and certification of organic farms, processing
companies, and beekeeping operations.
Agricultural Education – Theory & Practice
Through my studies in General Agricultural Sciences and my two-year training as a farmer—including a practical training year on an organically managed farm—I have gained both theoretical and practical knowledge of organic farming.
