Beyond Pesticides has compiled a list of the issues before the Board, which can be viewed on the Keeping Organic Strong website. We strongly encourage all those concerned about the future of organic food to review the issues and submit a public comment to the NOSB. The 15 member Board meets twice a year to review substances petitioned for allowance on the \u201cNational List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances\u201d in organic production and processing. Beyond Pesticides\u2019 Keeping Organic Strong website provides a number of resources for people to participate in the organic review process alongside the Board. Note that throughout the week, we will be updating the page with sample comments, Beyond Pesticides\u2019 full comments to the Board, and comments from key stakeholders in the organic community. Written comments on the proposals can be submitted until 11:59 pm on Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at regulations.gov. You can also attend the NOSB meeting in person [&hellip;]","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mail-usda-organic-seal-300x300.gif"}
