Tasmania is embarking on a national first.A Hobart based Tafe course in organic farming is about to start, and when it does it will be the first industry specific qualification in Australia.Mark Geeves from Tafe Tasmania says its a response to growth in the industry."I think it's probably because there's so much more interest in organics. "There's lots of stuff coming out now about GM crops and food additives so people become very passionate about eating properly and eating clean food and I think that's where it grows from."
