Here you'll learn about the Puget Sound Fresh program and find: Buying Locally
Puget Sound Fresh is a program begun by the King County Agriculture Commission to encourage consumers, wholesalers, retailers and restaurants to seek out and purchase locally-grown products. Now Snohomish, Pierce, Kitsap and other counties have joined the program to help keep our farmers farming. The program is designed to increase consumer preference for locally-grown products by identifying those products with a Puget Sound Fresh sticker or banner. Area grocery stores and farmers markets are being invited to promote local produce and farm products by using the logo. Look and ask for Puget Sound Fresh where you shop. Preserving Farmland
Over a period of years, farmland has been protected throughout the Puget Sound area through various open space and farmland preservation programs. Now it is vital that we maintain the viability of these farms by supporting the purchase of locally-grown products. We want to send a message that farms are critical to the quality of life we cherish in this region.

ALERTS COMMENTS AND PUBLICATIONS ARTICLES MEDIA ... HOME Organic Food The new national organic stardards implemented by the U.S. Department of Agriculture take effect on October 21, 2002. Products bearing the new USDA Organic Label meet the requirements of the Final National Organic Program Rule, the national standards for the production, handling and processing of organically grown food in the United States. These rules, which replace state and local standards, were released in December 2000, but took nearly two years to reach the marketplace. View a National Organic Standards factsheet USDA released a weak version of proposed organic rule October 1998, but it was met with much criticism and sparked an unprecedented 325,603 public comments. USDA proposed allowing bioengineered crops, sewage sludge, and irridation, which became known as the “big three,” under the definition of organic. Many changes, including removal of the "big three" were made to the final rule. While it is generally agreed that the final rule is an improvement over the proposed rule, many organic farmers and environmentalists have concerns with the regulations.

Organic Food and Farming - Attacks Organic Agriculture Fights Back Lim Li Ching
I-SIS Report Organic farming largely excludes synthetic inputs - pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers ­ and focuses instead on biological processes such as composting and other measures to maintain soil fertility, natural pest control and diversifying crops and livestock. Organic agriculture gives priority to long-term ecological health, such as biodiversity and soil quality, contrasting with conventional farming, which concentrates on short-term productivity gains. Organic farming has been denigrated for being less efficient in land use and having lower yields than conventional farming, and even accused of posing potential health risks. According to a commentary in Nature by Anthony Trewavas, Fellow of the United Kingdom Royal Society, "Although its supporters assert that organic agriculture is superior to other farming methods, the lack of scientific studies means that this claim cannot be substantiated". But he is wrong, there are scientific studies, peer-reviewed and published, documenting organic agriculture’s positive outcomes. Furthermore, certified organic production is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of land managed organically but not certified as such. De facto organic farming is prevalent in resource-poor and/or agriculturally marginal regions where local populations have limited engagement with the cash economy (see "Ethiopia to feed herself", this issue). Farmers rely on locally available natural resources to maintain soil fertility and to combat pests and diseases. They are showing the way towards sustainable agriculture through sophisticated systems of crop rotation, soil management, and pest and disease control, based on traditional knowledge.

Introduction Formal Strategies Factsheets The Eco-Tool Box
Green Agriculture
What can be done to make farming more environmentally friendly? The first thing would be to stop the loss of farmland to urban sprawl. Southern Ontario has about 50 per cent of Canada's prime agricultural land, and we are paving it over at an alarming rate. The second action would be to promote organic agriculture as a more benign form or agriculture. The third action is to improve the level of environmental stewardship on all farms, to minimize the environmental impacts of manure, pesticides and herbicides, and intensive farming practices. This factsheet looks at the current activities in these three areas. For more information, see also Urban Sprawl for the protection of farmland and Organic and Natural Food in the Buy Green section.

U.S. Organic Agriculture Blooms
P A N U P S
Pesticide Action Network Updates Service
May 19, 2003 Certified organic agricultural land increased by 74% between 1997 and 2001, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This remarkable growth in organic acreage gives organics the distinction of being the fastest growing segment of U.S. agriculture. If this trend continues, the portion of overall agricultural land certified as organic will double in the next four years. U.S. Organic Farming in 2000-2001: Adoption of Certified Systems, the report that documents this increase, was prepared by the Economic Research Service (ERS) of the USDA. ERS has tracked organic agricultural since 1991, when organic farmers prevailed upon the USDA to create national organic certification standards. Organic supporters predict the consistency and enforceability of national organic certification, in effect since October 2002, will increase the acreage as well as the credibility of U.S. organic products. Despite this remarkable growth, only 0.3% of all U.S. agricultural land is certified as organic compared with 3.24% in the European Union and 2.31% in Australia. Bob Scowcroft of the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) points out that growth figures need more interpretation. "Acreage is one line in a more complex chart that we should look at to analyze this young industry," said Scowcroft. He suggests that an economic analysis of the value of various organic goods is needed, a type of analysis that may be available in 2004, when ERS will release data from 2003.

Standards Development in Canada
National Standard System for Organic Production in Canada:
Standards affect nearly every product or service we encounter in our daily lives. In Canada alone there are several thousand national standards. Developing, maintaining and implementing such a large number of standards is too big a job for any one organization. It requires a whole system - the National Standards System (NSS). For more than 25 years, the NSS has helped to ensure the safety and performance of products and services, helped to open the global marketplace to Canadians, and helped to make Canada a leader in international standardization.
Canadian Standard Strategy:
To be effective on both domestic and international fronts, it is essential that Canadian standardization activities be based on a strong yet flexible foundation. The Canadian standards system must work to ensure that its capacity and resources are aligned with demonstrated priorities and anticipated needs in standardization. Moreover, efforts must focus on forging partnerships, strategic alliances and sectoral approaches that will maximize the effectiveness of standardization efforts. Finally, a single body is required to co-ordinate the diverse activities and varied organizations that make up the Canadian standards system.
