Yet another organic certifier faces a conflict of interest legal complaint. Additionally, the USDA Office of Inspector General must determine whether the National Organic Program is guilty of malfeasance, as per an updated filing request. I have the full story in this week's Organic Insider. https://lnkd.in/eagHRUrz #organic #regenerativeorganic #cpg

Are GMOs in organic now in play???? Based on recent Supreme Court rulings, it is not hyperbole to say that our industry can no longer be viewed as reliably secure. This is a VERY important issue for all organic stakeholders, and I have the full story in this week's Organic Insider. https://lnkd.in/eRWP29ZC #organic #organicfood #naturalproducts #gmos Center for Food Safety

Wow! What a story. A major organic seed company has surprised its supporters by announcing it will end sales and give hundreds of varieties away, declaring “we can no longer commodify our beloved kin, these seeds, or ourselves.” The Cocozelle zucchini, now $14.25 per 100 seeds? No charge. Catnip, kale, the rampant mint? All free. Petra Page-Mann and Matthew Goldfarb, the couple who run Fruition Seeds in upstate New York, said they’re letting go of workers, stopping sales on Aug. 27 and relying on public goodwill — donations of money, talent and effort — to grow and distribute seeds on a $76,000 budget. https://lnkd.in/ghpXDm-C #organic #organicfood #cpg

In my most recent Organic Insider, I did a recap of The Hartman Group's outstanding "Beyond Organic 2024" report. Here is one data point from the 3,000+ people who answered the online survey. VERY IMPORTANT FOOD AND BEVERAGE CHARACTERISTICS: Fresh — 65% Natural — 42% Simple ingredients — 41% Clean — 40% No artificial flavors/colors/preservatives — 34% No antibiotics or added hormones — 32% No pesticides or herbicides — 29% No GMOs — 26% Organic / USDA organic — 24% After more than two decades of USDA organic being in the marketplace, consumers are still prioritizing "natural" over "organic" -- even though "natural" means absolutely nothing.

PROPAGANDA OF THE WEEK: Headlines such as these are intended to do one thing -- plant a seed of doubt into your mind that organic is not the superior choice. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. These propaganda pieces want you to continue buying pesticide-laden, genetically-engineered and patent-protected foods that do nothing but contaminate our environment and bodies, while enriching the chemical and GMO companies. Very serious profits are at stake here, and this is all about controlling the food supply. #organic #organicfood #organicfarming
