NEWS FROM ORGANIC AND NON-GMO ROUNDUPS

Thanks to Mark Kastel and his team at The Cornucopia Institute who blogged and Tweeted from last week’s National Organic Standards Board meeting in California.

Mark said  this morning, taht the divisiveness between the organic non-profits and big corporates/OTA is as strong as ever – not something that anyone likes to hear.

Check out the daily recaps of the meeting on Cornucopia’s website. http://www.cornucopia.org/
