Summary
The Opportunities in Organic Act amends the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 to expand the national organic certification cost-share program into a comprehensive organic program. The bill establishes federal cost-sharing for organic certification (up to $1,500 per producer or handler, with exceptions for high-cost regions and socially disadvantaged farmers), and authorizes funding to eligible nonprofit organizations to provide technical assistance, capacity-building, and transition support for farmers converting to organic production. The program prioritizes support for socially disadvantaged farmers, small and mid-sized operations, and vulnerable agricultural regions, including funding for infrastructure, research, mentorship, and educational activities.
