The Tasmanian Government wants to expand the state's organic farming industry.
The Primary Industries Minister, David Llewellyn, says it wants to brand the state with clean and natural practices.
The Government is hosting a conference on organic conversion in Launceston this week.
Mr Llewellyn says organic produce commands premium prices in national and international markets.
"It's something that I really think is very important and we've redoubled our efforts to try to get some interest in organics, more than what is already very significant interest already here in Tasmania."

A great idea! Keep the GM pests out of Tasmania and have a clean green Tasmania without contaminants.
