Summary
The Opportunities in Organic Act amends the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act to replace the current organic certification cost‑share with a broader "Opportunities in Organic" program. It offers up to $1,500 per producer for certification costs and adds funding for nonprofit groups that assist socially disadvantaged and under‑resourced farmers in moving to organic production. The aim is to lower financial barriers and build technical capacity for organic agriculture.
