Mission Statement

At OFRF, we are dedicated to revolutionizing agriculture by fostering the improvement and widespread adoption of organic farming systems. We achieve this by cultivating impactful organic research, advancing education, and shaping federal policies that expand organic acreage and support the farmers who nourish our communities. We envision organic farming not only as the leading form of agriculture but as a lifeline for healthy and resilient ecosystems and economies, thriving on the bedrock of regenerative organic practices. These practices boost the productivity of farming systems and are crucial in safeguarding our planet for future generations.

Description

We work to ensure that organic farmers have the knowledge, resources, and support they need to thrive. Rooted in science and guided by the voices of farmers, we champion research, education, and policy solutions that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance. We strive to create a future where organic farming is more than a method-it’s a movement toward a healthier, more sustainable future and we invite you to be part of it.

Our core programs include:

  • Conducting nationwide research to understand organic farmers’ needs.
  • Championing policies that put farmers first.
  • Creating accessible, science-backed resources for organic farmers.
  • Supporting farmer-led innovation with on-farm research trials to advance climate-resilient farming practices.
  • Expanding public understanding of organic farming and its benefits to the environment.
