Don't Let USDA Deny Organic Certification for Aquaponics & Hydroponics
USDA
Don't Deny Aquaponics and Hydro Organic Certification
Please sign this petition
We need 100,000 signatures by June 16, 2016 to get a response from the White House.
Aquaponics has a proven record of safe, pesticide-free, organic food production. Water use is 1/10 of growing the same food in soil. Crop production is 200% more. Aquaponics and hydro are especially important for new farmers and urban agriculture! Despite these advantages, under pressure from corporate agribusiness, the USDA is considering banning aquaponics and organic hydroponics farming.
COMMUNITY VENTURE PARTNERS is proposing to build a state-of-the-art aquaponic farm in Marin, in order to give away $100,000 per year in free, fresh, organic produce to those most in need. USDA Organic certification is vital to our effort. (See our web site for details at: http://www.communityventurepartners.org/#!larkspur-landing-farm/cjg9).
