The NOSB will meet to discuss substances petitioned for addition to or deletion from the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (National List), substances due to sunset from the National List in 2022, and recommendations on organic policies.
The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) typically meets twice per year in various locations around the United States. During meetings, the NOSB listens to public comments, discusses agenda items, and then votes on recommendations to the Secretary in a public forum. Detailed meeting information, including agendas, locations, proposals, and public comments, will be posted as it becomes available. For information on previous meetings, visit the NOSB meetings page.
The meetings are open to the public, and no registration is required, except to sign up for oral comments.

Online Zoom workshop

OEFFA's popular half-day Farm Vision workshop is headed online this year!
It can help you map out your farm vision, clarify your goals and values, and assess your strengths, resources, and needs before beginning a farming enterprise.
Using a combination of farmer virtual presentations, individual skill assessments and vision exercises, and breakout discussions, find out if you are ready to begin farming and leave with an action plan toward developing your farm dreams.
A panel of mid-career farmers will reflect on their beginnings with plenty of time for questions and answers. In addition to learning from the successes and challenges of these farmers, this interactive workshop will provide you with the tools to help you get started, including:
- Assessment of the rewards and risks of starting a new farm business
- Farm mapping and enterprise brainstorming
- Farming and business skills assessment
- Market and revenue potential evaluation
- Action plan for starting your business
This event will be held via Zoom webinar software. It will work best for those who can join by computer. Once you register, we will send you a link for joining the webinar.
Cost: $20 for non-members, $15 for OEFFA members. Use promotional code MembersSave2020 for the 25 percent member discount. Scholarships are available for those for whom this registration fee is a hardship; contact Rachel.
