Breaking Down the 2022 National Organic Research Agenda (NORA)
The 2022 National Organic Research Agenda (NORA), is a report informed by surveys and focus groups conducted in 2020 with over 1,100 certified organic and 71 transitioning-organic farmers and ranchers across North America. Participants provided input and perspectives on their current organic production systems, including the use of regenerative soil health management practices, as well as their most pressing production and non-production challenges, technical assistance needs, and concerns related to organic agriculture. Oregon Tilth’s Executive Director and NORA contributor Chris Schreiner helped break down this 200+ page report and highlighted some of the most important takeaways.
