This is an outrage! When I buy organic, it had better be truly organic! Do not lie to me! :( I will check my sources from now on!

I am someone who buys organic only! Gmo has been toxic to my body to the point of me getting terribly sick whenever something has pesticides or labeled organic and isn't truly organic. I will not support Anything less than real-true-pure-organic.

As an organic farmer myself I believe we must keep the soil in organic to keep the integrity of what organic truly is.

I believe the health of food system starts with the health of our soil. If we feed the soil we feed ourselves!!

Please let us vote with our dollars. Please be transparent by labeling our food accurately. We have the right to know exactly what we're eating and who we're supporting.

Please keep SOIL in organics! Our organic standards are being threatened - Those organic farms that are not using true organic practices and are Feed Lot farms - instead of practicing grazing or true organic practices should be on a list and exposed to all so we the public can avoid the FAUXGANICs being produced.

Keep the soil in organic. That’s the way it’s supposed be! So happy we have a wonderful farmers market where this is understood.

Please recognize that the work of organic farmers is deeper than monetary profits. The natural events that take place within the SOIL are critical for healthy plant growth. KEEP hydroponics OUT OF ORGANIC!

I learned how to farm on Organic farms and was taught that a major component of organic farming is SOIL health and fertility. I now own my own farm and believe that maintaining a healthy soil food web is the key to a regenerative farming and healthy future.

Because hydroponic "farming" involves use of plastic "feeding" tubes and styrofoam, the produce absorbs the plastics’ carcinogenic bisphenol A. Because hydroponic "farming" supplies synthetic "nutrients" to the growing produce, the produce is toxic. Because the hydroponic "farmer" chooses the nutrients to be "fed" to the growing produce, even if the nutrients are natural and not toxic, still the nutrients may not be adequate to insure that the produce’s chemical structure will be properly healthful.

I am an organic farmer and I think hydroponics is removing the only key element of farming - soil

Can plant survive on H2O alone even if you provide a soiless media.

Let the hydroponics purveyors have their own label clearly identifying them as hydroponic. Nobody is arguing that hydroponics shouldn't exist but there needs to be full transparency. There cannot be any comparison of hydroponics to certified organic. Any connection made between the two is a scam.
