SE TOPP Organic Focus Group Meeting after Clemson University Organic Certification Basics Workshop Sept. 11 from 4:15 – 5:00 pm at the Phillips Market Center, 117 Ballard Court, West Columbia, SC 29172.
This focus group is part of the Southeast Transition to Organic Partnership Program. It aims to better understand your unique perspectives on the USDA’s National Organic Program, access to resources, and interactions with USDA programs. We want to hear from you if you are certified organic, are transitioning, or have thought about it but decided not to proceed with certification. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ATTEND THE WORKSHOP TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FOCUS GROUP MEETING. We greatly value your time and willingness to share your perspectives and experiences with us and will provide a $50 honorarium for participating in the focus group.
This program is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). TOPP is a program of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and is administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP).
