This chart, produced by ATTRA NCAT, helps crop producers understand and navigate both the FDA FSMA Produce Safety Rule and USDA Organic Regulations simultaneously. It compares requirements side by side across key topics including written plans, recordkeeping, land use, worker hygiene, soil amendments, pest management, water quality, and harvest handling, highlighting where the two regulatory frameworks align or differ.

Join Romans Caetani, Research Associate at the Rodale Institute, for a webinar on how to establish a holistic weed management plan for your organic production system.

This tipsheet, produced by ATTRA NCAT, covers key considerations for USDA-certified organic pig production, including animal sourcing, feed requirements, allowed and prohibited health care practices, living conditions, and processing options. It outlines the regulatory requirements producers must meet under USDA organic regulations and raises important economic questions.

This webinar, presented by the Organic SWD Management Project, features a panel of researchers discussing organic pest management strategies against the invasive Spotted-wing Drosophila. They explore the use of classical biocontrol agents, review recent research findings, and outline how these methods can be integrated into sustainable pest management programs.

This guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, profiles over 20 climate-beneficial agricultural practices that sequester carbon or reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ranging from silvopasture and forest farming to cover cropping, no-till, compost addition, and precision nutrient management.

This webinar will explore electric weeding in organic perennial crops, a promising solution for one of the most persistent challenges in organic fruit and berry production. Researchers from Oregon State University, University of California Davis, and Cornell University will share some recent research findings.

This guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, addresses strategies for regenerating and sustaining hayfield productivity without relying on synthetic fertilizers. It covers adding plant diversity through legume interseeding, hayfield renovation and replanting, restoring abandoned fields, and integrating grazed cover crops into hayfield rotations.

Discover how organic farmers control aphids naturally using beneficial insects like hoverflies. This resource highlights intercropping techniques and research by Eric Brennan for efficient biological control in organic lettuce production.

This guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, helps small-scale diversified farm operators evaluate and manage poultry enterprises for profitability and sustainability. It covers enterprise options including broilers, layers, pastured poultry, and specialty species; start-up and operating costs; multiple revenue streams; key profitability metrics; market opportunities; risk management strategies; and financing options.

This webinar dicusses how to safely create compost teas for gardening and agriculture. Discover regulations by the National Organic Program and EPA, and understand their beneficial uses.

This visual reference tool, produced by ATTRA NCAT, organizes cover crop species in a periodic table format, providing eight key data points for each plant including function, root type, plant structure, crude protein, life cycle, biomass per pound of seed, and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. Organized by seasonality, plant type, and water demand, it helps producers quickly identify the most suitable cover crops.

Presenters share insights from five long-term organic farms, discussing successes, challenges, and strategies for managing biodiversity and biological control habitats to enhance sustainable farming practices.
