CCOF Foundation
The CCOF Foundation is advancing organic agriculture for a healthy world.
The CCOF Foundation is investing in new organic farmers and businesses and building consumer demand for organic. We educate future organic farmers, help consumers understand organic, assist organic farmers in need, and provide ongoing training for organic professionals.
