Information

The Coalition for Sustainable Organics is a group of environmentally and socially responsible growers committed to maintaining the USDA’s current high standards for certifying organic produce. Comprised of growers big and small, we advocate for the continued allowance of containerized growing methods under the National Organic Program, while enabling growers to select the most appropriate production system for their specific site and commodity needs.
