On Friday, March 22, 2024, from 12 noon–1:00 ET, the Penn State Center for Agricultural and Shale Law, alongside the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s (PDA) Agricultural Business Development Center (ABDC), will present the next webinar in the Understanding Agricultural Law educational series:
“Understanding the Basics of Organic Production.”
Under U.S. federal law, use of the term “organic” in reference to food is regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture under both statutory and trademark laws and generally means that the food was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This webinar will provide an overview of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and discuss the National Organic Program, including certification requirements, labeling standards, prohibited practices and the national list of allowed and prohibited substances, and livestock and poultry standards.
1 hour of substantive CLE credit available for Pennsylvania-licensed attorneys at no charge.
