National Organic Standards Issued

Late in December 2000 the US Department of Agriculture finally issued the final revised version of the National Organic Program Standards. Eventually all NOFAs and it seems all organic certifying agencies will need to comply with these national standards.

Comments from NOFA members are posted here.
