Join NOC Policy Director, Steve Etka, and Executive Director, Abby Youngblood, to discuss NOC’s six top priorities for immediate action by Secretary Vilsack and progress made to date on those priorities.

We will provide updates and opportunities to take action on:

• Unfinished Rules - Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) Rule, Origin of Livestock Rule, Organic Livestock and Poultry Practices Rule

• Advancing Organic as a Climate Change solution - organic’s role as a climate change solution and proposals to incentivize the transition to organic.

• Building Back Better - creating a more inclusive, equitable organic program and a more resilient food system.

• Organic Certification Cost Share - restoring program funding and creating a more robust program for the future.

• Broader Structural Reforms - elevating the role of the NOSB, active support from USDA for organic agriculture.
