Today, we announced a final rule regarding organic #livestock & #poultry production practices. The rule strengthens the #organic standards, and ensures that all organic #animals live in pasture based systems utilizing production practices that support their well-being and natural behavior. It’s an important step that will strengthen consumer confidence in the USDA organic seal and ensure that organic agriculture continues to provide economic opportunities for farmers, ranchers, and businesses across the country. #farm #farmers #localfood #USDA #USDAorganic #NOP #producers #meat #ag #agriculture #freerange #animal #food #foods #organics
A local and regional #food movement is growing inside the United States. It connects consumers with where and how their food is grown, creates new economic opportunities for producers, and draws #young people back to rural communities. It fosters appreciation for America’s #farms and #ranches and marketing opportunities for farmers, ranchers, #chefs, and #local food businesses. It connects schools and our Nation’s children with fresh, healthy food. And it helps increase #healthy food access in #rural and #urban communities across the country. #localfood #farmer #farm #farmersmarket #ag #agriculture #investinag #farmlife #ranch #ranchlife #foodie #foodstagram #foods

Consumers can find certified #organic products at most grocery stores and demand for organic products continues to increase, with U.S. retail sales valued at more than $43 billion in 2015. Organic products are grown, raised and produced by over 31,000 certified operations, and many of those operations receive higher prices, or premiums, for their products.
