USDA organic is in need of a course correction and it’s coming from the passionate farmers that started the movement in the first place. Learn from the leaders and supporters of the Real Organic Project (ROP) about why we must push for greater transparency from the industry. What are the most important steps for us to take moving forward? Where do you contribute? How do we hold each other accountable? Can Real Organic survive? Watch portions of pre-recorded interviews and interact with ROP member farmers for a question and answer afterwards. Interviews will include Al Gore , Leah Penniman, Paul Hawken, Eliot Coleman, Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, Emily Oakley, Karen Washington, Eric Sideman, Joan Dye Gussow, John Ikerd and many more.
