NOP Launches New Spanish Resources Web Page
The number of Spanish speaking farmers and business owners certified under USDA organic standards has increased significantly since the National Organic Program (NOP) was established in 2001. Throughout that time, NOP has developed and expanded the resources available to Spanish speakers seeking information about organic certification. NOP recently launched a new web page compiling those resources into one place.
The new resource repository includes Spanish translations of the Organic Foods Production Act, organic regulations, the NOP Handbook and a variety of other fact sheets, videos and training resources.
