Organic Farming Research Foundation

As usual, there is alot of disinformation out there about organic food and farming and its health benefits compared to "modern farming" techniques.  There are also far too many chefs that I talk to on a regular basis that turn there nose up to organics and refuse to even consider that organic foods are better than factory farmed vegetables when it comes to health benefits, etc.  To get a clear picture of organics one can now turn to the Organic Farmering Research Foundation as a resource if interested.
According to its website, the organization's mission is to "foster the improvement and widespread adoption of organic farming systems."

Their mission is accomplished by:

Sponsoring organic farming research and education & outreach projects through our competitive grantmaking program;


Disseminating the results of OFRF-funded research and education projects to organic farmers and to growers interested in adopting organic production systems; and


Educating the public and decision-makers about organic farming issues.

Futhermore, OFRF’s integrated strategy of grantmaking, policy, education and networking initiatives supports organic farmers’ immediate information needs while moving the public and policymakers toward greater investment in organic farming systems.

I did like their website, you can get e-mail updates from them if you wish or just click around and see what's up on organics.  The site is: http://ofrf.org/index.html
