In the United States, the National Organic Program (NOP) is the federal regulatory framework governing organic food. It is also the name of the program of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) responsible for administering and enforcing the regulatory framework. The Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 required that the USDA develop national standards for organic products, and the final rule establishing the NOP was first published in the Federal Register in 2000 and is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations at 7 C.F.R. 205.
The NOP covers fresh and processed agricultural food products, including crops and livestock. It does cover non-food products that may be sold as organic, including natural fibers (e.g.: organic cotton). Health and beauty products (e.g.: organic shampoo) can also be labeled organic if compliant with NOP. The USDA NOP does have the authority to enforce organic standards in the realm of health and beauty products, and were encouraged to do so in a 2009 recommendation from the USDA National Organic Standards Board. While the actual law does apply to these products, enforcement remains limited in this market.

USDA certified organic foods may be corrupted by genetically modified organisms. This presentation reveals the federal statutes that actually allow for this to happen, by way of "careless" verbiage. It is shorter and better informed version of a presentation released last year, by the same name. In addition to what is mentioned in the video, I'd like paraphrase from S205.204 (a)(1), that organically "produced" seeds from non-organic seed stock are stated to be solely used for edible sprouts... but back to S205.204 (a)(1): if someone files a variance, then technically if they grow a crop from non organic seeds under that specific clause, there is no verbiage preventing them from using those seeds for livestock or people in S205.201 or in 205.204 (a)(3), unlike in S205.204 (a)(1), where t...

If you live in the US you've probably seen different sections in the grocery store for organic and conventional foods. So what is the difference? What most people understand organic to mean is food produced without the use of any synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The opposite of that is conventionally produced food, which uses all kinds of substances to artificially boost production. But really, the definition of organic goes way beyond pesticides and fertilizers. When you see an organic food label in the US, it means that the food is not irradiated, genetically modified, does not have artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. If the product is from animals, an organic label means the product does not have any hormones, antibiotics and the animal was not raised in a cage. There...
USDA Organic Board Destroying Organic? http://www.courthousenews.com/2016/04/20/farmers-sue-usda-over-organic-food-board.htm "The American people have a right to trust that food certified as organic is free of inappropriate or inadequately reviewed synthetic substances that do not comport with the [Organic Foods Production Act] OFPA," the complaint states. "USDA has failed this responsibility and has shirked its legal obligations by appointing individuals to the [National Organic Standards Board] NOSB that violate the [Organic Foods Production Act's] OFPA's board composition requirements," the complaint continues.
Source: http://farmwars.info/?p=4897 Just when we thought that buying "Organic" was safe, we run headlong into the deliberate poisoning of our organic food supply by the FDA in collusion with none other than the folks who brought us Aspartame. NutraSweet, a former Monsanto asset, has developed a new and improved version of this neurotoxin called Neotame. Neotame has similar structure to aspartame — except that, from it's structure, appears to be even more toxic than aspartame. This potential increase in toxicity will make up for the fact that less will be used in diet drinks. Like aspartame, some of the concerns include gradual neurotoxic and immunotoxic damage from the combination of the formaldehyde metabolite (which is toxic at extremely low doses) and the excitotoxic amino acid. ...
By jumping on the NON-GMO bandwagon, we are forgetting about the USDA ORGANIC version which is the healthier choice. Certified organic should be free of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc, as certified by a reliable government or standards organization. The “Non-GMO Project” label only verifies that a product doesn’t contain genetically modified (GMO) ingredients. Organic regulations prohibit certain toxic pesticides from being used on crops, but there are no special restrictions for non-GMO crops. So, non-GMO crops can be grown the same as other conventional crops and can still be laden with toxic pesticide residues,

How Essential Oils Work? Downloadable Audio Of This Hangout: https://soundcloud.com/essanteorganics/usda-organic-essential-oils-1 The essential oil of the plant acts as the plant's immune system, fighting against molds, funguses, viruses, bacteria & other issues that can harm or kill the plant. Essential oils protect humans the same way. Why Essential Oils Work IT'S NATURAL TO WONDER ABOUT NATURE We humans are curious creatures, so it's natural for us to wonder why these seemingly simple & fragrant substances, essential oils, actually work. How do essential oils have so many powerful & measurable health effects? The University of Minnesota found essential oils work by entering the body in three ways: inhalation, absorption through application to the skin, & ingestion. 1000's of clinical ...

Presented by Klaas Martens, Lakeview Organic Grain, Penn Yan, NY View the webinar at http://conservationwebinars.net to earn CEUs. Our presenter, Klaas Martens, Penn Yan, NY, uses a diverse crop rotation to farm over 1,400 acres of organic corn, soybeans, small grains, a variety of peas, and cover crops. By adhering to one simple principle - every crop follows a suitable predecessor - Martens has improved soil health and function to cycle nutrients, increase water infiltration and availability, and eliminate both weed and disease pest problems. In this presentation, Martens will focus on the use of plants to change the soil and how soil biology can perform the services that are expected from tillage. He will also cover relay cropping, or starting one crop before the previous crop is harv...
The USDA Organic Rules require a soil-building crop rotation that controls erosion, maintains or improves soil organic matter content, manages deficient or excess plant nutrients, and provides for crop pest management. Sod, cover crops, green manure crops, catch crops, and various mulches are included in the rotation to perform these functions, which correspond to the purposes for NRCS Conservation Practices such as Conservation Crop Rotation, Cover Crop, Strip Cropping, and Nutrient Management. Because organic producers do not use synthetic fertilizers and can use only a very limited list of pesticides or fungicides, they depend to a greater degree on crop rotation with its diverse soil biology to manage nutrients, pests, and diseases. On the other hand, exclusion of herbicides (no carry...
