CCOF hosted a panel discussion, “Transition to Organic: How Brands & Organizations Can Support Farmer Success,” at the Natural Products Expo West.
The USDA Under Secretary Jenny Lester Moffitt, together with Daily Harvest CEO Ricky Silver, Ryan Laur from American Farmland Trust, and CCOF’s Jessy Beckett Parr spoke about creative strategies to support successful organic transition efforts through public and private partnerships.
The USDA, Daily Harvest, American Farmland Trust, and CCOF create programs that support farmers’ transition to organic with direct financial support, one-on-one technical assistance, market access support, and mentorship.
Much of this new support is through the USDA Organic Transition Initiative. Curious to know more? Check out www.organictransitions.org.
