About this user

The Cornucopia Institute, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit farm policy research group, is dedicated to the fight for economic justice for the family-scale farming community.

Its Organic Integrity Project acts as a corporate and governmental watchdog assuring that no compromises to the credibility of organic farming methods and the food it produces are made in the pursuit of profit. The largest portion of its funding comes from individual members, mostly sustainable family-scale organic farmers, with support from their "urban allies."

Please support the hard-working farm families who produce the country's safest, authentic, nutritionally superior and oftentimes local food. Your support for organics protects the environment, underwrites humane animal husbandry practices, and fairness for the people producing our food.
