Organic standard hopes to ‘heal broken agriculture system’

Farms must first hold US Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic certification, ROC then adds further criteria to ensure soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness. It claims to be the strictest of its kind.
The new certification also has three levels—bronze, silver, and gold. The levels require farms and businesses to phase in more rigorous regenerative organic practices over time.
