The National Organic Coalition (NOC) is a national alliance of organizations working to provide a "Washington voice" for farmers, ranchers, environmentalists, consumers and others who care about organic agriculture. NOC seeks to advance organic food and agriculture and ensure a united voice for organic integrity, which means strong, enforceable, and continuously improved standards. NOC provides information and educational opportunities about the multiple health, environmental, and economic benefits that organic agriculture provides. The coalition works to assure that policies are fair, equitable, and encourage diversity of participation and access.
On behalf of citizens, organizations, and companies who cares about the environment, healthy food, and a meaningful organic label, NOC:
Brings together diverse organic stakeholders to share information and create opportunities;
Provides educational resources about the science, economics, regulation and benefits of organic food and agriculture;
Offers government agencies and Congress innovative policy solutions to challenging issues;
Engages the wider organic community to advocate on its own behalf;
Shows up — our members testify at federal government hearings and agency meetings across the U.S. each time organic issues are discussed or organic integrity is threatened.
