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

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, considering barriers to organic certification, market expansion, job creation, and support for vulnerable communities. The plan will also address soil health, carbon sequestration, and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the bill establishes a microgrant program for small-scale producers, prioritizing those in overburdened communities or led by vulnerable populations.
