The National Organic Coalition is hosting a zoom discussion for NOC Members & Network Affiliates:
2023 Farm Bill Briefing:
Opportunities & Threats for Organic
Join NOC Policy Director, Steve Etka, and Executive Director, Abby Youngblood, to discuss all things organic in the 2023 Farm Bill.
We will discuss:
2023 Farm Bill context – the political backdrop and funding environment for the 2023 Farm Bill.
Marker bills – NOC has endorsed multiple marker bills that are focused on organic research, cost share, technical assistance, conservation and more. We will share details and answer questions about these bills and how each will advance organic.
Equity – we will highlight provisions that advance equitable access to organic agriculture.
Addressing regulatory bottlenecks at USDA – we will share more information about a bill that will amend OFPA to ensure that organic lives up to the continuous improvement ethos and to compel USDA to implement NOSB recommendations in a timely manner.
Grasstops & grassroots advocacy – learn how your organization or company can get more engaged and have an impact on the Farm Bill negotiations.
Register below by 5 pm ET on Tuesday, August 15 to participate in this event.
This call is for National Organic Coalition Members & Network Affiliates. Not yet a NOC Network Affiliate? Please contact NOC to learn more about this opportunity.
