This webinar, produced by the Organic Trade Association (OTA) Fiber Council, provides an overview of U.S. organic fiber production and standards for organic textile certification. Learn from industry experts, including representatives from the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Textile Exchange about market growth, certification standards, policy updates, fiber standards, and more.

This guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, examines how nutrients move through pasture ecosystems via the rhizosphere, soil food web, and ‘liquid carbon pathway.’ It covers the roles of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, earthworms, and livestock in cycling nutrients, and outlines three key management practices — tall-grass grazing, high stock density, and compost application — for building productive, regenerative pasture soils.

Join Robert Crystal-Ornelas from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Amber Sciligo from The Organic Center for a webinar about how organic farmers can increase carbon sequestration in their production systems. Learn about the role that agriculture plays in climate change and how organic management practices can contribute to mitigation efforts by storing atmospheric carbon in the soil.

This guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, examines the relationship between U.S. agriculture and climate disruption, covering how farming both contributes to and can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. It surveys carbon sequestration practices, explores carbon market mechanisms including cap-and-trade and subsidies, and outlines opportunities for farmers and ranchers to reduce emissions while potentially generating value from carbon storage.

Join Amber Sciligo from The Organic Center, David Crowder from Washington State University, and Olivia Smith from the University of Georgia for a research-based webinar about the potential environmental and economic benefits of organic production, including benefits to biodiversity and farm profitability.

This guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, introduces soil properties, biology, and nutrient cycling as the foundation for healthy pasture management. It covers soil quality assessment, regenerative grazing principles, cover crop integration, and strategies for transitioning away from input-dependent systems, emphasizing that feeding soil microorganisms through managed grazing and living root cover is key to sustaining long-term pasture productivity.

This webinar, produced by The Organic Center, disseminates research findings on the benefits of organic farming to soil health and climate change mitigation and outlines specific organic soil-building practices to illuminate strategies that have the biggest impacts on soil health.

This comprehensive guide, produced by ATTRA NCAT, introduces grass-based and seasonal dairy production for producers seeking lower-input, pasture-centered operations. It covers breed selection, forage and grazing management, facilities, dry cow programs, organic certification requirements, grassfed standards, and marketing strategies.

Are you looking for data-driven tools to help your sales or marketing teams articulate the environmental, health, social, and economic benefits of organic? Join Gwendolyn Wyard of the Organic Trade Association (OTA) to learn about some of the tools available to farmers to communicate the benefits and contributions of the USDA Organic standard.

This tipsheet, produced by ATTRA NCAT, reviews botanical control options for grasshoppers, covering neem, garlic, mint, and eucalyptus. It summarizes research findings on each botanical's effectiveness at disrupting grasshopper feeding, maturity, and reproduction, offering growers practical, low-risk alternatives for managing this difficult-to-control pest across a range of cropping systems.

This webinar will be helpful for those curious about the growth of the U.S. organic sector, as well as those needing to communicate the impact of organic with investors, legislators, or members of the public. Learn about the 2022 National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA NASS) Organic Production Survey results and hear from experts about the USDA Quick Stats Tool.

This guidebook, produced by Cornell University College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, outlines soil health principles. It covers five main topic areas: foundational soil health concepts (what soil is, soil life, and soil health definitions); soil health assessment methods; soil health management strategies (planning frameworks, management tools, tillage, crop rotations, cover crops, and a case study); and additional resources.
