Florida Certified Organic Growers & Consumers Inc

Education & outreach projects, such as fresh access bucks and farmer workshops, generate knowledge, share resources and apply the expertise of fog in ways that advance organic agriculture and healthy and just food systems. We educate producers, consumers, media, institutions, and governments about the benefits of organic and sustainable agriculture, presenting at tours, conferences, workshops, classes, and other educational opportunities. Topics include but not limited to organic and sustainable farming practices, local food systems, farm bill opportunities, certification options, marketing, community empowerment and opportunities and challenges in the organic marketplace.

The southeast transition to organic partnership program supports farmers in transitioning to organic production and provides ongoing assistance to existing organic producers. By offering mentorship, technical assistance, and wrap-around support, this program plays a vital role in promoting organic farming in the southeast region.
