Registration Open: National Organic Convening Part I & Part II

Due to the government shutdown, the fall National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) meeting will not take place in Omaha. As a result, the National Organic Coalition will not be hosting our Pre-NOSB meeting in-person.

Instead, we hope you will join us for an online National Organic Convening on Nov. 3 and Nov. 17 from 1 pm to 4 pm ET:

  • Join Session I on November 3: to hear from Plains-region grain farmers firsthand and to get a federal policy briefing on how organic is impacted by the government shutdown, USDA staffing cuts, and the stalled Farm Bill, and to learn how the NOSB’s work is moving forward.

REGISTER HERE FOR SESSION I

  • Join session II on November 17: to share your ideas as part of this working dialogue on reducing the burden of organic certification. Pending an end to the shutdown, we hope that Dr. Jenny Tucker from the National Organic Program will join us for a Q&A session with the organic community (to be confirmed). We’ll also hear about efforts to strengthen environmental impact measurement and reporting for organic.

REGISTER HERE FOR SESSION II
