Expanding opportunities for organic, regenerative, climate-smart, and sustainable producers.

The bill aims to expand opportunities for organic, regenerative, climate-smart, and sustainable producers in Washington. It mandates the Department of Agriculture to develop an organic agriculture action plan, including recommendations for legislative, administrative, or budgetary actions. The plan should identify barriers to organic certification, expand organic markets, and support job creation in the organic sector. The Department must also contract with a nonprofit organization to administer a microgrant program for organic producers.
