we have a problem…... And we have a solution, too.
A NEW HOPE:
Attempts at reform of the USDA failed, and so the very founders of the organic movement in America finally said, “Enough!” We created an independent add–on certification to the USDA program to designate that there are still many real organic farms in America. A label that can be trusted for integrity and transparency is needed. Our aim is to supply that label, that voice, that important story, to the eaters.
The Real Organic Project was created in 2018 to protect organic. The organic label had grown so quickly, and much was being lost. As organic succeeded, the same big players in chemical ag became the big players in the organic “industry.” And with this “big tent,” we suddenly found the tent changing. Soon we could barely recognize as “organic” much of what was being sold under our label.
