BECOME A NETWORK AFFILIATE
Join the National Organic Coalition’s network of over over 50 organizations, companies, and farms. Together, we form a coalition for information and action to protect the integrity of organic food and farming systems.
We will keep you informed and ask for your input to advance work on organic issues with Members of Congress,
the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA),
and other agencies (such as EPA) as well as in the courts.
NOC is leading essential work to protect organic in the ongoing Farm Bill negotiations and to communicate with new leaders in the wake of the 2024 elections. When you join the National Organic Coalition, you support education and advocacy that is critical to the future of our movement.
NOC’s advocacy:
Increases federal funding and resources to support a growing organic sector.
Is essential to ensure that the organic program has integrity and consumer trust.
Upholds the core values of ecology, human health, and equity
With 14 Members and more than 40 Network Affiliates, the National Organic Coalition is more than 50 organizations and companies strong. We hope you will join us.
