OFRF joined four major agricultural organizations to lead a letter to the Senate Agriculture Committee urging increased funding for the only two dedicated organic research programs under the USDA — as the organic market races toward $100 billion by 2030.

OFRF has launched its National Organic Farmer Survey, which is conducted every few years, to understand the challenges, priorities, and needs of organic and transitioning farmers across the country. Insights from previous surveys, including the 2022 National Organic Research Agenda (NORA), have guided farmer-led research projects, influenced university and Extension priorities, and helped policymakers direct more resources to organic producers.

The Organic Farming Research Foundation is excited to announce that applications are open for the next cohort of organic farmers who will be leading on-farm research trials with OFRF technical assistance in 2026.

OFRF submitted comments opposing USDA’s reorganization plan, warning it would undermine research, conservation, and farmer access to vital programs.
