Organic 101: U.S. Organic Regulations in Plain English

U.S. organic regulations are complicated; you may not be a regulatory specialist but you still need the basics in plain language. Find out how the NOP regulations work; understand the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances and section 606; learn about the Sunset clause and the process of petitioning the National Organic Standards Board; hear about current commercial availability issues; and don’t get overwhelmed! This session will cut through the jargon and focus on what’s happening right now so you can go home knowledgeable and prepared.
