Farmers would get more money and support to grow organic food and build local supply chains.
This bill would significantly expand federal support for organic farming. It would set aside hundreds of millions of dollars to help farmers pay for organic certification, switch to organic methods, and build stronger local organic food supply chains. This means more resources for farmers, especially smaller operations and those from disadvantaged groups.
Today, the government offers a program to help farmers pay for organic certification. If this bill becomes law, the program would be greatly expanded, renamed the "Opportunities in Organic program," and would offer much broader support. This includes direct funding and technical help for farmers to switch to organic, improve their practices, and build local organic food supply chains. The bill sets aside $50,000,000 for the government's budget years 2027 and 2028, $80,000,000 for 2029, and $100,000,000 for 2030 and 2031 to pay for these efforts.
