The U.S. government will make its first in-depth survey of organic farming this spring, an eight-page questionnaire on which crops and livestock are produced, how they are grown and where they are sold.
Leaders in the organic movement have pressed for a USDA survey as the first step to more USDA research and aid to their sector.
“This is great news,” said Bob Scowcroft of the Organic Farming Research Foundation in Santa Cruz, California. “We feel very strongly this will show a need for a fair share of research, which has been our mantra for years.”
