The US Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has approved funding to the tune of US$1,666,000 for Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops (TASC) to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
The financial backing comes in partnership with Sustainable Strategies and over a five-year period will be funneled into projects which analyze and address trade issues for US organic products.
“This funding will be used to help further understand hurdles that impede the trade of US organic products and help work toward finding solutions to opening trade options for US organic producers,” said Christine Bushway, OTA’s executive director.
