Framework for Regenerative Organic Certified
According to Regenerative Organic Certified, "As agricultural practices continue to evolve, it is imperative that approaches to land management and associated processes are focused on contributing to the health of ecosystems, including human communities. Regenerative Organic CertifiedTM (ROCTM) builds upon and furthers the near 100-year legacy of organic movement visionaries like J. I. Rodale, Lady Eve Balfour, Dr. Rudolf Steiner, Sir Albert Howard, and the knowledge of generations of diverse, holistic producers—including native and Indigenous Peoples—that they channeled for inspiration and direction.
The goal of ROC is to promote holistic agriculture practices in an all-encompassing certification that:
Increases soil organic matter over time and sequesters carbon below and above ground, which could be a tool to mitigate climate change; Improves animal welfare; and Provides economic stability and fairness for farmers, ranchers, and workers."
