The United States market for organic products reached $16.9 billion in 2006. The demand for organic crops currently exceeds supply and growers everywhere are encouraged to consider the potential for organic production. This year's Iowa Organic Conference will include sessions on:
- Transitioning to Organic Farming
- Improving Organic Livestock Health
- Marketing Organic Products
This year will also kick-off our new campaign for "Local Organic". Local organic foods will be highlighted, including information on getting more local, organic foods into schools and food services.
A trade show of organic products and services will be held during the conference with ample time for visiting. Our all-organic, four-course lunch will include delicious organic products from Iowa and the Midwest.
