There has always been freedom to do production like that if one wishes, no matter who holds office. Economics will drive it, not a political office.
Largely true, but the current economics of organic production are influenced by the political powers that be. There's been some increase in scrutiny of imported organic products but the reality of organic production is like any process based distinction and the integrity of the label is dependent on the integrity of the documentation of the entire supply chain. Fraud is bad enough here, that there's no way that the vast majority of the organic corn and soy imported from Africa and Eastern Europe is all legitimate when a forged organic certificate on a bulk freighter of non GMO grain doubles the market value. |
