The Organic Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research and education organization. Our mission is to conduct and convene credible, evidence-based science on the environmental and health effects of organic and communicate the findings to the public.
The Organic Center recently collaborated on a proposal that was selected for a full symposium session at the Entomological Society of America Conference in St. Louis, MO November 17-20, 2019
A new and deadly drug-resistant yeast, Candida auris, has been identified in 13 U. S
A recent study, published in the journal of Ecology and Evolution, found that farmers can suppress weeds using less tillage when they combine cover crops and compost. Weeds are a major issue, particularly for organic agriculture that does not heavily apply herbicides
sources listed here The Environmental Footprints of Organic Cotton: From Field Through the Supply Chain Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the world, and conventional cotton is one of the most chemically intensive crops with serious consequences for both the environment and farm workers. This report will fill this knowledge gap by creating an up-to-date report to compare costs and externalities (biological, environmental, and social) of organic and conventional US cotton and textile production. This report will rely on scientific data and case study comparisons to educate both industry and consumers of the benefits of organic cotton and textiles, covering everything from soil preparation, to fabrication aids, to marketing. This report will include the most recent published literature comparing costs and externalities of organic and conventional cotton production, including the following factors: Receive updates on the latest research in organic food and farming by signing up for our e-newsletter, The Organic Scoop.
