The Organic Farming Research Foundation and the Organic Seed Alliance request your participation in an important national survey to identify the top challenges facing organic farmers and ranchers today. This feedback is critical to building a comprehensive roadmap for future research investments that help advance organic agriculture across the United States. Results will be published in updates of OFRF’s National Organic Research Agenda (NORA) report and OSA’s State of Organic Seed (SOS) report.
The project includes two national surveys—one for certified organic producers and the other for producers transitioning to organic certification. If you are a certified organic farmer or rancher OR a farmer or rancher who is currently transitioning to certified organic, this is an opportunity to make your voice heard. Results will be published in updates of OFRF’s National Organic Research Agenda (NORA) report and OSA’s State of Organic Seed (SOS) report to provide a roadmap for future research funding.
For certified organic farmers and ranchers, please take the organic survey at: https://www.opinion.wsu.edu/organicproduction/
For farmers and ranchers who are transitioning to organic certification, please take the transition survey at: https://www.opinion.wsu.edu/transitionproducers
If you have any questions about the surveys, please contact Lauren Scott at sesrc.nora.survey@wsu.edu.
The surveys opened on February 18, 2020 and close April 1, 2020. They are voluntary, confidential, and will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. You can skip any questions you prefer not to answer. You can complete the survey in multiple sittings. The online survey saves your responses as you go along. You can stop at any point, and then resume the survey at any time by following the appropriate link above and entering your survey access code, which will be generated when you first start the survey. The online program will allow you to resume where you left off. Upon completion of the survey, you can enter to win a $100 gift card to REI. If you do not have access to a computer and cannot complete the survey online, please call OFRF at 831-426-6606.
