Policy and Standards Update Part 1: Fiber & Textiles

This session is part one of a two-part series that will give a broad overview of organic standards development in the U.S. and focus specifically on food standards. This is your opportunity to hear from policy makers about organic food standards and how they might continue to change and develop over the next year. For an update on developing non-food organic standards such as personal care and fiber, be sure to attend Policy and Standards Update Part 2: Non-food.
