Welcome to the Co-op!

Tuesday, October 20, 2009 Syracuse Co-op and National Organic Coalition Amanda Gormley from Syracuse Real Food Co-op testified today (10/20) in alignment with the National Organic Coalition against a National Leafy Green Marketing Agreement. The proposed Agreement was created by USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service in response to the 2006 E-Coli outbreak. It is modeled after California's Leafy Green Marketing Agreement which many attribute to California leafy green grower's desolation of farmland and unsustainable farming practices. The Agricultural Marketing Service proposes this Agreement as a voluntary means for the industry to regulate production of leafy greens. The AMS, however, is not a food safety advocate, nor does the AMS have any experience regulating food safety.
