2.3.7

Producers, workers and other relevant actors have the skills to implement requirements in 2.3.1 through 2.3.6

Field operators and other relevant actors have access to knowledge that is useful for developing skills to apply the relevant cultivation and trade practices established according to 2.3. OaS shall provide or support the provision of relevant knowledge in the form of:

training

making agronomists and other experts available for technical support

defining and distributing manuals, guidance and other training materials

DOCUMENTATION

Training sections for field operators and other actors, with lists of attendees and topics, can be used as evidence to assess compliance. Training modules/guidance/manuals developed for field operators can be used as evidence to assess compliance. Registers where field visits to provide technical support to field operators and the implementation of practices is documented can be used as evidence to assess compliance.

INTERVIEWS

Conversations with field operators and other actors that provide insights on their knowledge and access to knowledge can be used as evidence to assess compliance.

OBSERVATION

Seeing field operators and other actors implementing the practices or attending knowledge sharing sections can be used as evidence to assess compliance.

Scoring guidance

0 - Field operators and other actors do not have skills required to implement practices according to 2.3
