Bill A3444/S3140, to establish an Organic Farming Board in the NJ Department of Agriculture, has been signed into law. The bipartisan legislation passed unanimously in both houses.
“Organic farming is good for the Earth, is good for the soil, and it’s good for the body,” said Senator Zwicker (D-Middlesex/Mercer/Somerset/Hunterdon). “This new board will help us develop programs to better support organic farming, and in the process help us to ensure the state’s farmland remains healthy and fertile.”
Our Environmental Justice Task Force has launched a postcard campaign to thank our representatives for passing this piece of legislation, which supports organic and regenerative agriculture. Keep an eye out for our postcards at your next coffee hour!
