On World Food Day, 15 October 2020, IFOAM - Organics International is celebrating policies that are upscaling agroecology and promoting the transformation of our food systems towards greater fairness, stronger social justice and sounder environmental sustainability.
The US National Organic Program has put out a proposal to revise the USDA organic regulation. The US being the world’s biggest organic market—and this proposed regulation being the most comprehensive revision ever proposed to US organic regulation since its original adoption—the rule change could have a huge impact on the global organic sector.
To all farmers, organisers, producers, retailers, and citizens who joined us: we thank you for contributing to this global action day! 🌱 See you in at the 2021 Organic World Congress for the next #IGrowYourFood.
While the COVID-19 pandemic reveals its impacts not only on human health but also on the global food system, governments are discussing how our global economy should be revitalised.
