About this Series
This series is comprised of seven Guides. Each guide is a subject-oriented compilation that focuses on a separate type of information or research source. Sources cited in each guide were selected based on their applicability to U.S. organic production and enterprises; ready availability, especially those that are free and online; and timeliness - most sources were created or updated within the past five years.
AFSIC guides are not intended as
definitive guides to Federal regulations and rules or to developing a
fail-proof business or marketing plan. They will, however, lead the researcher
to primary resources and agencies that impact organic marketing, import or
export enterprises. Research beyond cited sources, for any marketing or trade
project, is highly recommended. Although
every effort has been made to provide the most current and correct information
available, the author and the National Agricultural Library assume no liability
for the accuracy or completeness of the information resources presented.
