Real Organic Project

Our mission is to grow people's understanding of traditional organic values and practices. Our first goal is to create an add-on label to USDA certified organic to provide more transparency on organic farming practices. We believe that crops grown in soil and livestock raised on pasture-based systems are fundamental to organic farming. The Real Organic Project is family farmer-driven and embraces centuries-old organic farming practices along with new scientific knowledge of ecological farming. Healthy soil equals healthy crops and livestock, which equals healthy people and a healthy climate.
