The Mobile Organic Certification (MobiCert) project investigates the use of Mobile Technology for primary producers in organic certification in remote and rural Australia. The goals of the MobiCert project are to create a theoretical model for mobile devicebased information access and provision and to develop and test a prototype mobile commerce interface for organic certification information access / provision in remote and rural areas. It is the pilot project in the SAmCom (Sustainable Agriculture m-Commerce) project framework, which aims to enhance the information access and provision for primary producers through m-Commerce. In this paper we present an overview of the organic certification world wide (especially in Australia) and the existing software solutions to aid primary producers; followed by the theoretical model for the MobiCert project, which will be validated during the next stage of the project.
