HORIZON ORGANIC LAUNCHES REAL DAIRY CREAMERS MADE WITH ONLY FOUR ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

Brita and Bryce Lundberg working with cover crops on the farm.
Long before the term “regenerative agriculture” hit the vernacular, Lundberg Family Farms was expounding on the principles of soil health and working by the motto, “Leave the land better than you found it.”
The California-based rice producer’s long history with regen-aligned practices—as well as its organic status that goes back to the 1960s—would seemingly make it a shoe-in for official regenerative-organic certification—something food companies large and small now seek.
As it turns out, the process of getting that certification isn’t automatic, even for a seasoned player like Lundberg.
USDA organics board rejects compostable polymers, puts paper on watch
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Organic Standards Board on Tuesday voted unanimously against adding synthetic compostable materials as compost feedstocks to the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances. That list in part stipulates which substances can be used in organic crops or processed organic products. The board determined that the broad classes of materials it was evaluating did not meet necessity, environmental and human health, and sustainable agriculture criteria for the National List. But going forward, the group said it’s open to evaluating individual substances, as some showed potential to meet those criteria. It would also consider allowing broader classes of substances with more restricted use patterns, such as for fruit stickers or collection bags.
