Recognizing “time is not on our side when it comes to climate change” and that “what is good for the planet is good for our brand,” Horizon Organic is bringing consumers along on its ambitious five-year journey to become the first carbon-positive dairy brand by sharing the results of its recently completed life cycle assessment and the ways it is reducing emissions. Researchers argue that soil health should be a part of crop insurance calculations, given risks from climate change. Industry groups and lawmakers are calling for the reinstatement of the organic animal welfare rule. The Organic Livestock and Poultry Practices Final Rule establishes new animal welfare standards for the production of organic milk, eggs, and meat. In 2017, the Trump administration initially blocked the rule before withdrawing it entirely. A letter from more than a dozen industry groups was sent to Susan Rice, Director of the U.S. Domestic Policy Council, calling for the reinstatement of the rule. After years of reliance on global markets, concern about regulatory equivalencies, and even fraud, the U.S. organic sector appears poised to achieve a major milestone: self-sufficiency with respect to organic feed corn production. Molson Coors is launching its first organic beer, Coors Pure, Wednesday on National Beer Day.
