Looking for change in Washington, D.C?
We need YOU to take action. Check here for the most pressing action needed for vibrant organic farms.
Ask your Senators to Fight Fraudulent Organic Imports
Over the past decade there has been a significant discovery of fraud in imported organic feedstuffs or grains. This has undermined our domestic organic market; U.S. producers have invested time and money into organic transition and production and deserve to operate in a stable and equitable marketplace. The Organic Imports Verification Act S.1398 has been introduced to address import fraud issues. Please urge your Senators to support the legislation.
Urge Congress to Support Organic Farmers in the Farm Bill
Organic is the fastest growing sector of the U.S. agriculture system, with enormous potential to address climate change, help family farms flourish, revive rural communities and protect public health. But for organic agriculture to meet its potential, policies are needed to improve organic integrity, make USDA programs work for organic farmers, and remove barriers to organic production. Tell your members of Congress that we need a Farm Bill that supports organic farmers and grows the organic food system.
Tell Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins that Organic is Soil-Based
Organic has always been rooted in the soil. Healthy soil is the foundation of an strong organic agricultural system integral to supporting healthy plants, healthy animals, and healthy people. Keeping organic rooted in the soil is at risk, and we need your help! Tell USDA Secretary Rollins that you support an organic label strongly rooted in healthy soil.
Ask your U.S. Senators to support the WEATHER Act
The Withstanding Extreme Agricultural Threats by Harvesting Economic Resilience (WEATHER) Act of 2023 (S. 3401) is a bill that calls for the development of an index-based insurance policy that would better support farmers facing income losses after extreme weather events by reducing administrative hurdles and ensuring that insurance payouts are based on agricultural income losses.
