May 23, 2025Today the Organic Produce Association released the following statement upon passage of H.R. 1 by the House of Representatives:
“The Organic Produce Association is pleased to see funding included in H.R. 1 for important programs that support organic producers. The legislation would resume funding to help farmers transition to organic production and would support USDA’s enforcement of organic regulations. At a time of renewed focus on helping Americans live healthier lifestyles, these investments will help ensure Americans continue to have access to healthy, organic fruits and vegetables.
The Organic Produce Association continues to support innovation in agriculture. We encourage USDA and Congress to ensure the National Organic Program is reflective of today’s technological advances which can increase access to lower cost organic produce for consumers.”
