Organic Growth, Lasting Impact
Organic farming holds the key to a healthier planet and a more equitable food system. By building resilience in agriculture, reducing the harmful effects of conventional practices, and nurturing biodiversity, organic methods are not just an alternative—they’re a necessity. The Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) and Nature’s Path Organic Foods have long championed this cause, cultivating deep roots of support through scientific research, education, and advocacy. But the opportunity for growth is immense, and the need is great.
We are stronger together! Nature’s Path Organic Foods is continuing its long-standing commitment to match, dollar for dollar, donations up to $15,000 to the Organic Farming Research Foundation, and we’re calling all organic champions to join us in this cause!
Donate to OFRF by December 31, 2024, and
Nature’s Path Organic Foods will double your impact
and match your gift (up to $15,000).
Consider this: Organic farms use 45% less energy and produce up to 40% fewer carbon emissions than conventional farms, all while improving soil health and promoting biodiversity. Additionally, after just 10 years, organic systems achieve 14 times the rate of carbon sequestration compared to conventional systems. The U.S. organic market continues to grow, with organic food sales totaling $63.8 billion in 2023, demonstrating that the demand for healthier, more sustainable food is here and growing. Despite this growth, organic agriculture research funding makes up less than 2% of the total research budget at the USDA and less than 1% of the Agricultural Research Service's budget.
With your support, we can accelerate this momentum.
Just this year, the Organic Farming Research Foundation has achieved so much:
As we reflect on our journey, we continue to tend and grow the impact from decades of passionate groundwork and innovative partnership. We celebrate not only our past achievements, but also the ambitious goals we’ve set for the future. Your support helps us continue to cultivate organic research, education, and advocacy that empower farmers and promote resilient agricultural systems.
"Every morning, every evening, thousands of organic farmers head out on chore rounds before their work day starts and after it ends. We don't stop for holidays, 116-degree days, weekends, pandemics, birthdays, or snowstorms. Animals and plants and our communities count on us. In short, we live and breathe stewardship."
– April Thatcher, Farmer, and OFRF Board President
