I grow hydroponic salad greens, herbs, and edible flowers and sell directly to my customers on farm and to local restaurants. I absolutely oppose organic certification of hydroponic systems growing food. I say that even though I use organic pest management systems in my greenhouses, recycle and reuse almost everything, use and harvest open pollinated seed varieties, and try very hard to have a minimal impact on the soils and the environment that I can.
Organic certification is all about the soil. There is no way that hydroponic growing systems can be certified organic without damaging the meaning and spirit of certification itself for the public and my community. It is all about trust. If people can't trust the USDA certified organic label, then what?
Soil is more than an aquarium
