Several activists and farmers opposed all soil-less produce being labeled as organic in US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lawsuit by CFS Against Hydroponic Produce <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Centre for Food Safety and Farmers from Maine to California filed a lawsuit against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/topics\/food-and-nutrition\">USDA\u2019<\/a>s decision for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grainmart.in\/news\/punjab-pushes-for-organic-farming-especially-in-cancer-stricken-malwa-region\/\">organic<\/a> certification to hydroponic produce. Further, they claimed that the decision undermines the integrity of the country\u2019s organic. Also, they stated that the decision plays with consumers\u2019 trust and puts the soil growers at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Argument<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) mandates organic cultivation to improve soil-fertility. Hence, the group argues that the decision is not in line with the OFPA Act. Further, it argued that the organic product must deliver ecological benefits to the consumer, to which the label is associated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grainmart.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Hydroponic-Farm-1024x997.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-637\" width=\"494\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grainmart.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Hydroponic-Farm-1024x997.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.grainmart.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Hydroponic-Farm-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.grainmart.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Hydroponic-Farm-768x747.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.grainmart.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Hydroponic-Farm.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px\" \/><figcaption>Hydroponic Farm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Organic Improves the Fertility of the Soil<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Several organic farmers complained that they are facing tough competition from the hydroponically produce. Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of the plaintiff Center for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodsafetynews.com\/2020\/03\/organic-growers-say-it-is-in-their-economic-interest-to-stay-grounded-in-soil\/\">Food Safety <\/a>stated that \u2018organic\u2019 is not just about growing food in soil but also to improve the fertility of the soil. Further, he stated that the USDA\u2019s loophole of hydroponic produce guts the very essence and violates the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hydroponic-Uses Water for Cultivation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydroponic farming uses water to grow plants and hence water is the only source of nutrients for plants. However, they also use external nutrients and insecticides\/pesticides in some cases. US law requires that the method must foster soil fertility to produce organic crops. Despite the recommendations of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ams.usda.gov\/rules-regulations\/organic\/nosb\">National Organic Standards Board<\/a> (NOSB) to prohibit organic certification of hydroponics, the USDA has notified it as organic. As a result, the CFS filed a petition on 2nd March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CFS Efforts\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first time the organic standards have been diluted in the USA. Also, CFS was successful in closing the loophole that was allowing organic operations to use compost contaminated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grainmart.in\/news\/finally-government-acts-on-excessive-use-of-pesticides-proposes-pesticides-management-bill-2020\/\">pesticides<\/a>. Also, it has challenged the government for reconsidering standards for organic livestock care, such as adequate space and outdoor access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all, organic certification needs to comply with the organic standards to provide better value to consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Activists opposed soil-less produce being labeled as organic in US.
