The USDA published the new Organic Livestock and Poultry Practices Standard.  While the Organic Trade Association is touting the new standards as a “win” for animal welfare and the organic label, Joel isn't buying it.  Meanwhile, the National Organic Standards Board just “allowed” a potentially dangerous chemical to be added to organic livestock.  Join us as Joel breaks down the latest food news and provides solutions.Join the Beyond Labels Family and access the entire episode here: https://beyondlabels.supportingcast.fm/Follow on InstagramFollow on TwitterSubscribe on RumbleSubscribe on YouTubeFind Joel Here: www.polyfacefarms.comFind Sina Here: www.drsinamccullough.comDisclaimer:  The information provided by Joel Salatin and Sina McCullough, PhD is not intended to prevent, diagnose, treat, or cure any disease.  The information provided in the podcasts, videos, and show descriptions is for educational purposes only.  It is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical or psychological condition.  The information provided is not meant to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure such conditions.  The information provided is not medical advice nor is it designed to replace advice, information, or prescriptions you receive from your healthcare provider.  Consult your health care provider before making any changes to your diet, medication, or lifestyle.  Proceed at your own risk.Joel Salatin and Sina McCullough, Ph.D. specifically disclaim any liability, loss, or risk, personal or otherwise, that may be incurred as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the use and application of any of the contents of their YouTube channel, Podcast, websites, books, Facebook pages, or any of the content during consulting sessions or speaking engagements.  Proceed at your own risk.  These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Organic food purchasers buy organic and pay the extra for a reason. New regulations being proposed by some members of congress would make it much easier for corporate food businesses to use that premium label to sell product that doesn't actually meet the real benchmarks of organic. Tom Chapman, CEO of the Organic Trade Association, and others have introduced the new Continuous Improvement and Accountability in Organic Standards to counteract these efforts to dilute the organic label.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

The Organic Trade Association applauded the USDA and the National Organic Program for the new “Strengthening Organic Enforcement Rule.” The new regulation will do a lot to detect organic fraud and protect the integrity of organic agriculture throughout the supply chain. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[Rough Transcript of this week's episode] Welcome to Business with Purpose - I am your host, Molly Stillman of stillbeingmolly.com and this show is all about bringing you the stories behind the brands, companies, and small businesses that are changing the world. Each week I interview an entrepreneur, a CEO, non-profit director, community leader, or just all-around amazing person who is trying to make a positive impact not only through their personal life, but also with their career. My goal is to show you that no matter what you do for a living, you can make an impact right where you are… This is episode 180 which means it is time for another SOLO episode! I love connecting with you in a little bit of a different way during these solo episodes to either answer a burning question that you have, talking about a timely topic, or educating you on something that I think might be helpful… So this week, I am doing a little combination of answering a frequently asked question and doing a little education. One question I have received often is, “There are so many buzzwords and phrases thrown around like “ethical fashion” “fair trade” “conscious consumerism” “social enterprise” etc….. WHAT DO THEY ALL MEAN? What is the difference? So today, I am going to be like your own personal Webster’s Dictionary: ethical edition and share some of the terminologies with you that you might hear on this podcast or out in the world and what it is they mean! A couple of things I wanted to share with you before we go over the terms and definitions… After over 3.5 years of doing this podcast, I continue to be blown away by your encouragement and support. I know I can talk all day about this show, but I wanted you the listener to hear from FELLOW LISTENERS on which episode is THEIR favorite and why they love the show… so here are a few: [TUNE IN TO LISTEN TO THE LISTENER TESTIMONIALS!] What Does "Conscious Consumerism Mean?" and More... All your ethical terminologies explained! Conscious consumerism Conscious consumerism is a way of saying that we are able to retain the awareness of our purchasing power no matter what is going on in the world around us. ... The conscious consumer is one that seeks out ways to make positive decisions on what they buy, and solutions to the negative impacts caused by consumerism. Fair trade vs. fairtrade When used as "fair trade," as two words rather than one, this refers to the general movement advocating for trade on fair terms for the environment and people involved. However, the largest and most globally recognized fair trade organization is Fairtrade International, the umbrella organization of the international system that our partner Fairtrade America belongs to. Listen to episode Episode 139 with Marc Choyt - right around the 31:50 mark we talk briefly about this! Ethically made / ethical fashion Ethical fashion is an umbrella term that includes fashion design, production, retail, and purchasing. The exact definition is vague but overall ethical fashion is understood to indicate an active approach to creating goods that positively impact the environment and the lives of those making them, reducing poverty through non-exploitative (fair pay, good conditions) employment. In reality, it’s virtually impossible for a brand creating new products from new materials to ever be completely ethical as it just does not positively impact the environment. It is, however, a good reference point for brands to have in an attempt to better their production practices. Zero wasteZero Waste is a set of principles focused on waste prevention that encourages the redesign of resource life cycles so that all products are reused.  Social enterprise A social enterprise is an organization that applies commercial strategies to maximize improvements in financial, social and environmental well-being—this may include maximizing social impact alongside profits for co-owners. Slow fashion As you would expect, slow fashion is the opposite of fast fashion. It’s about rejecting consumeristic impulses and embracing a slower, more mindful model of consumerism. While this doesn’t eradicate shopping entirely, it refers to only buying things you actually need and items of quality that will last. Circular fashion Circular fashion refers to the entire lifecycle of a product and centers on a circle of create, use, recycle, rather than create, use, dispose. It looks at products beyond their original function and timespan and focuses on how their materials can be consistently utilized and repurposed. Circular fashion takes in to consideration everything including the design, sourcing, transportation, storage, marketing, sale and disposal of the product. Closed loop In fashion it means that all new clothes are made from preexisting clothes and textiles, The Guardian explains. Once an item has fulfilled its use, it can be broken down through an environmentally sound process and turned back into yarn/fabric and then recycled into another garment. This forms a “closed loop” in that an item would have an eternal life cycle and therefore eliminate waste. Cruelty free Cruelty-free means that companies did not test ingredients or products on animals during the production phase. Cruelty-free, therefore, also means that no animals were killed or harmed anywhere in the world during production. Items that meet this standard normally carry a heart symbol. Cruelty-free does not mean, however, that animal ingredients are avoided. Eco friendly Eco-friendly, like sustainability, is an all encompassing term that takes many factors into account. “Eco” is short for ecology, the study of interaction between organisms and the environment. Therefore, eco-friendly is about minimizing anything that would negatively affect that balance.  Fast fashion Fast fashion is the term used to describe clothing that is produced quickly and cheaply. Brands and retailers that engage in fast fashion often create products based on seasonal trends directly inspired by the runway. Fast fashion brands are generally associated with overproduction, low retail prices, mass waste, poor working conditions, and negative environmental impact. FSC certified If an item is FSC-certified it means that the fabric is made from tree fibers that come from sustainable sources in that they do not originate from endangered or ancient forests. TENCEL and MONOCEL products, for example, are often made from FSC certified eucalyptus and bamboo. Living wage Paying someone a living wage is to pay workers from all aspects of the production process a fair salary so they are not trapped in poverty. A living wage varies greatly from country to country and that is also taken into consideration. Organic Standards differ as to what “organic” means from country to country but generally speaking, organic fashion refers to the materials used and how they’re grown. Basically this means that the materials are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), sewage sludge, ionizing radiation, or other chemicals. Social responsibility Social responsibility means that a company adheres to a business framework that values people and the planet as well as profit. It’s about benefiting local communities and their environment. Unfortunately, brands claiming social responsibility can’t always be taken at face value. This term is often used in greenwashing. WRAP certified Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP), formerly Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production, is a not-for-profit 501(c)(6) organization dedicated to promoting safe, lawful, humane and ethical manufacturing around the world through certification and education. The WRAP certification program mainly focuses on the apparel, footwear and sewn products sectors. Certified B CorpB Corporation certification is a private certification issued to for-profit companies by B Lab, a global nonprofit organization with offices in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a partnership in Latin America with Sistema B. To be granted and to preserve certification, companies must receive a minimum score on an online assessment for "social and environmental performance." Okay! That’s it!

When you look at an Organic label, you may not know that someone had to visit the operation that made that product or raised that food. These humble people are the Organic Inspectors, and today we’ll be talking to Margaret Scoles executive director of the International Organic Inspectors association. She has been an Organic inspector for over thirty years and has recently been awarded the 2018 Growing Organic Industry award by the Organic Trade Association. Show Notes: Margaret worked her way through college as a plant breeder It was in 1988 that Margaret became an Organic Inspector, has celebrated her 30th anniversary inspecting! When Margaret was 12, her Aunt passed along copies of the Rodale Farming Magazine Her inspection work started with an add in a newspaper An Organic Inspector does not make decisions for Certifications, they only report observations to the Certification Agency who makes decisions While you gain numerous observations though walking through the farm, some of the most useful information comes from talking to the farmer The International Organic Inspectors Association is a educational non-profit and membership organization that trains Organic Inspectors around the world IOIA has members in 12 different countries There are a few variations from country to country, for example Japan doesn’t have Organic Standards for Livestock, and the US Certifies Hydroponics Margaret was a founding board member of IOIA The organization started at a mandatory meeting for inspectors, and several of them got together and formed a steering community for what would become IOIA The USDA Organic Program helped provide a consistent standard at a time when there were many various standards   Links: http://ioia.net Our Links! https://intellectualagrarian.com https://www.facebook.com/intellectualagrarian https://www.instagram.com/intellectual.agrarian    

Harry MacCormack, co-founder of Oregon Tilth and current president of Ten Rivers Food Web, talks about how, and why, the first organic standards came to be.

Have you ever wondered what you're buying when you purchase food tagged “organic” or “natural?” Is it as close to pure food as we are led to believe or just another marketing scam to secure a premium price? Is the organic food nutrition-to-nasty ratio better or is it just over-priced everyday stuff? This episode is food…

Mark Kastel, co-founder of the Cornucopia Institute, talks to me this week about the future of organic standards. This organization is dedicated to protecting organic standards, small-scale organic family farms, the wisdom of sustainable and organic agriculture and the quality and integrity of the food we all eat. Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #35 The Future of Organic Standards with Mark Kastel. The Institute regularly engages in campaigns and lobbying efforts to protect or enact laws that favor small-scale farming and organic standards. Today we are going to talk about the future of organic standards and how seriously our food supply is in jeopardy. About Mark Kastel Mark Kastel is the co-founder of The Cornucopia Institute, a populist farm policy research group based in Wisconsin. He acts as its Senior Farm Policy Analyst and directs its Organic Integrity Project. For almost 20 years prior to Cornucopia’s launch he was president of M. A. Kastel and Associates, Inc. His professional practice included political consulting, lobbying on behalf of family farm groups, and business development work benefiting family-scale farmers. Mark played a key role, through his research and policy work, in bringing great media scrutiny to the horrors happening to cows and on dairy farms using rBGH, a synthetic hormone used to increase cow’s milk production on dairy farms beginning in the 80’s. Mark continues to be closely involved in monitoring the seriously flawed management of the National Organic Program at the USDA.
