NOC Releases Organic Marker Bill Tracker
The National Organic Coalition has released an organic marker bill tracker to assist you in navigating the many different Farm Bill marker bills** that advance organic priorities.
Advocacy in the coming months is essential to ensure continued and expanded funding for cost share, organic research, and other priorities. Please take action today by contacting your Member of Congress to express support for the Opportunities in Organic Act.
In the coming weeks, NOC will continue to communicate about opportunities to advance and defend organic in the 2023 Farm Bill.

**A marker bill is a bill introduced in Congress to signal policy ideas and gather support for those ideas, most often with a goal of inclusion in an omnibus bill like the Farm Bill. Marker bills help lawmakers and grassroots advocates build support for policy asks. With a large omnibus bill like the Farm Bill, having smaller packages like marker bills helps ideas get attention. The more bipartisan support we get for the marker bills we support, the more likely they’ll be pulled into the 2023 Farm Bill.
