Marbleseed Conference 2025 - Presentations

There is an unprecedented amount of support from the USDA for organic and transitioning farms, and much of that support is being delivered through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Conservation professionals from the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF), the Organic Farmers Association (OFA) and NRCS will describe in detail how to access financial assistance and what to expect from the process. Learn about the Organic Transition Initiative and the support it provides for transitioning producers, as well as all of the opportunities for organic farms to benefit from conservation planning on their farms. We will do a deep dive on the new practice standard for Organic Management (ICPS 823) and explore how it can significantly improve your operation. Bring all your organic conservation questions!
