With that, the billions spent on the farm sector today are neither protecting the future of U.S. agriculture nor preserving the traditional family farm. Organic Valley, a farmer-owned dairy cooperative and organic food brand, has added a fat-free variety of milk to its grass-fed product line. The Organic Trade Association announced the Sustainable Food Trade Association has consolidated with the Organic Trade Association in a meaningful partnership that will strengthen the organic sector’s voice in climate policy and sustainability issues in 2021, and boost the sector’s efforts to create an environmentally friendly, sustainable food system. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is ending its recognition agreement that had allowed Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority, or APEDA, accredited certifiers to provide USDA organic certification in India. The APEDA is an apex body under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of the government of India.
