DESCRIPTION:The Science-Based Targets Initiative is the leading framework for corporate climate action\, used by over 10\,000 companies globally\, including some of the world’s biggest dairy brands. But the details behind corporate climate plans are rarely shared publicly\, so it can be hard to evaluate the science behind a science-based target. In this webinar\, we use data from a fast-growing organic yogurt company\, Painterland Sisters\, to assess the feasibility of meeting science-based targets for organic dairy. We show that SBTi’s “near term” targets are readily achievable for organic dairy. But SBTi’s “long term” net-zero targets appear to be currently unfeasible. We share some alternative long-term ideas for climate and dairy\, including “fossil fuel free” dairy and separate goals for methane and other greenhouse gases. \nPanelists will include:\nFranklin Egan and Matty Rotman\, Painterland Sisters \nSage Dennis\, Rodale Institute \nRegistration\n\n \n URLThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Zip/Postal Code*\n Register \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

Rodale is convening and facilitating this group to support moving this work forward together. \nWhile this working group focuses on rye\, we recognize it is part of addressing a larger systemic need to build markets for the winter grains that make up healthy organic cropping rotations. \nThis working group intends to bring together growers\, processors\, millers\, distillers\, brand buyers\, breeders\, and researchers from across the rye supply system to coordinate efforts\, share market intelligence\, and find concrete ways to grow demand for organic rye. \nWe will be hosting two introductory meetings (September 14 and September 28) where we will share: \n– Introductions and a chance to hear what everyone’s already working on \n– The working group’s purpose and scope \n– Systemic challenges and opportunities for rye markets \nIn Session 3 (October 5)\, we will get to work on collective action. \nConveners:  \nWill Glazik\, Rodale Institute \nBridget Gilmore\, Rodale Institute \nRachel Kastner\, reNourish Studio \nLauren Tucker\, reNourish Studio \n Join us for Session 2 \n Join us for Session 3 \nThis event is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).

As agricultural information becomes increasingly privatized and markets more concentrated\, that public data is more important than ever for a fair\, stable organic sector. Join researcher Katie Butterfield (UC Davis)\, as she shares findings from her new peer-reviewed article\, Improving USDA’s Public Price and Volume Data for an Equitable Organic Food Value Chain\, along with the broader work behind it. \nHere’s what to expect: \n– Where to access organic pricing data as a farmer. \n– What the research found: interviews and surveys with organic producers\, processors\, distributors\, and retailers about how price and volume data can better serve them. \n– Why access matters: many farmers don’t have the resources to purchase private data sources\, and improving public data access\, especially smaller markets\, is one of the clearest ways to close that gap. \nThis session is for transitioning and organic farmers\, buyers\, supply chain actors\, researchers\, and advocates who want to understand what’s happening to organic acreage and pricing transparency and how better data can support a more equitable organic value chain. \nThis event is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).

But translating that intuition into something measurable\, communicable\, and commercially valuable has remained out of reach. \nThis panel brings together leading researchers and experienced farmers to close that gap. Drawing on emerging science around soil biology and nutrient density measurement\, the conversation will focus on what farmers can actually observe\, track\, and share — and what that means for the future of quality-focused agriculture. Whether you are just beginning to think about nutrient density or already measuring it\, this session is designed to give you practical insight and language to take back to your farm and your buyers. \nPresenters:\nAndrew Smith – Chief Science Officer\, Rodale Institute \nAnne Bikle – Biologist\, Author “What Your Food Ate” \nBrita Lundberg – 4th Generation Farmer & Communications Manager\, Lundberg Family Farms \nLael Gerhart – Engagement Leader\, Frog Hollow Farm \nThis event is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).

Rather than duplicate them\, our intention is to uplift the work already underway\, increase shared learning\, identify new opportunities\, and explore strategies that require more coordination than any one organization can achieve alone. Rodale is convening and facilitating this group to support moving this work forward together. \nWhile this working group focuses on rye\, we recognize it is part of addressing a larger systemic need to build markets for the winter grains that make up healthy organic cropping rotations. \nThis working group intends to bring together growers\, processors\, millers\, distillers\, brand buyers\, breeders\, and researchers from across the rye supply system to coordinate efforts\, share market intelligence\, and find concrete ways to grow demand for organic rye. \nConveners:  \nWill Glazik\, Rodale Institute \nBridget Gilmore\, Rodale Institute \nRachel Kastner\, reNourish Studio \nLauren Tucker\, reNourish Studio \nThis event is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).

Using locally sourced inputs such as compost\, poultry litter\, and biochar\, the program focuses on building soil organic matter\, improving nutrient cycling\, and enhancing soil structure and biological activity. This work addresses ongoing challenges in organic systems\, including yield gaps\, nutrient inefficiencies\, and weed pressure under changing climate conditions. Learn more in a webinar on September 02\, 2026\, presented by Dr. Dinesh Panday\, who leads the Soil Nutrient Management Program. \nRegistration\n\n \n InstagramThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Zip/Postal Code*\n Register \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

This session covers what it takes to harvest fiber flax from pulling\, retting\, and turning\, as well as post-harvest handling. We’ll discuss equipment considerations and explore the market potential for fiber flax and what growers should be thinking about beyond the field. \nRegistration\n\n \n X/TwitterThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Zip/Postal Code*\n Register \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.
