| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE NATIONAL ORGANIC COALITION, INC. (OR NOC) ADVANCES ORGANIC AGRICULTURE AND PROTECTS THE INTEGRITY OF THE ORGANIC LABEL. ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IS A SYSTEM OF PRODUCTION THAT RELIES ON ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES, BIODIVERSITY, AND CYCLES TO SUSTAIN THE HEALTH OF SOILS, ECOSYSTEMS, AND PEOPLE. THROUGH EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND ADVOCACY, NOC PROVIDES THE PUBLIC AND POLICY MAKERS WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF ORGANIC SYSTEMS. OUR COALITION ALSO PROTECTS THE ORGANIC STANDARDS TO ENSURE THAT THEY REFLECT CORE ORGANIC PRINCIPLES, ARE ENFORCEABLE, AND ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | THE NATIONAL ORGANIC COALITION CELEBRATED MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2023 TO ADVANCE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE. 1. ALL THREE OF THE MAJOR RULES NOC HAS BEEN ADVOCATING FOR YEARS TO PROTECT ORGANIC INTEGRITY HAVE BEEN FINALIZED BY THE USDA. NOC IS PLEASED WITH THESE REGULATORY UPDATES, WHICH HELP PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURE. USDA FINALIZED THE ORGANIC LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY STANDARDS RULE IN 2023 (OCTOBER) TO ENSURE HIGH ANIMAL WELFARE STANDARDS FOR ANIMALS RAISED ON ORGANIC FARMS AND ACCESS TO THE OUTDOORS FOR ORGANIC CHICKENS. USDA FINALIZED THE STRENGTHENING ORGANIC ENFORCEMENT RULE IN 2023 (JANUARY) TO ADDRESS FRAUD IN ORGANIC SUPPLY CHAINS. USDA FINALIZED THE ORIGIN OF LIVESTOCK RULE IN 2022 TO CREATE A FAIR MARKETPLACE FOR ORGANIC DAIRY PRODUCERS AND IS NOW FOCUSED ON ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS IN THE RULE. 2. NOC AND OUR PARTNERS HAVE INTRODUCED SEVEN MARKER BILLS FOR INCLUSION IN THE FARM BILL. THESE BILLS SUPPORT ORGANIC FARMING, INCREASE ORGANIC CERTIFICATION COST SHARE FUNDING, BOOST ORGANIC RESEARCH, AND CREATE A MORE DIVERSE AND EQUITABLE ORGANIC MOVEMENT. 3. USDA CELEBRATED THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ITS 300 MILLION ORGANIC TRANSITION INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE FARMERS WITH RESOURCES AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ADOPT ORGANIC PRACTICES. NOC IS THRILLED TO SEE USDA LAUNCH THIS HISTORIC INITIATIVE AND EMBRACE IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN PROMOTED BY OUR MEMBERS, INCLUDING FARMER-TO-FARMER MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS, NEW TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE RESOURCES, AND NRCS CONSERVATION PROGRAMS FOR PRODUCERS USING ORGANIC PRACTICES. 4. NOC FACILITATED AN IMPACTFUL "FLY-IN" IN MARCH 2023, BRINGING ORGANIC ADVOCATES TO CAPITOL HILL IN WASHINGTON D.C., AND HOSTED SUCCESSFUL GATHERINGS FOR THE ORGANIC COMMUNITY IN ATLANTA, GA AND PROVIDENCE, RI. |
