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 EmailThis 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.

Eight workshops\, real skills\, and a community of growers to learn alongside. \n🕓Wednesdays 4–6pm\n🗓️June 3rd through July 22nd\n📍Rodale Institute California Organic Center \nGrowing with Intention: Certification\, Crop Planning\, & Beyond / Cultivar con un objetivo claro: certificación\, planificación de cultivos y mucho más \nRecord-keeping and crop planning are two sides of the same organic compliance coin: your crop plan sets the intention for what you will grow and when\, and your records prove what actually happened from seed to sale. In the first half of this workshop\, we will cover why recordkeeping is required for organic certification\, which records matter most\, practical templates and peak-season habits that make inspections easier. In the second portion\, we will delve into a practical guide to developing the right crop plan for your operation\, examining all factors from finances to season extension. \nEl mantenimiento de registros y la planificación de cultivos son las dos caras de la misma moneda en lo que respecta al cumplimiento de las normas orgánicos: su plan de cultivo establece la intención de lo que vas a cultivar y cuándo\, y sus registros demuestran lo que realmente ocurrió\, desde la siembra hasta la venta. En la primera parte de este taller\, abordaremos por qué es obligatorio llevar registros para la certificación orgánica\, qué registros son los más importantes\, plantillas prácticas y hábitos para la temporada alta que facilitan las inspecciones. En la segunda parte\, profundizaremos en una guía práctica para desarrollar el plan de cultivo adecuado para su explotación\, analizando todos los factores\, desde las finanzas hasta la prolongación de la\ntemporada. \nDetails\nDate: June 24\, 2026 4-6 PM PST \nLocation:\nRodale Institute California Organic Center\, 1014 W.

But it’s worth the effort! Since there is likely to be a price spread between buyers. And sometimes it’s as much as 10% or more. This webinar will explore basic steps in finding and reaching out to organic grain buyers in your area. It will also discuss what to do once you get a merchandiser/buyer on the phone\, in terms of discovering what crops they buy\, what volumes\, when they make new contracts\, and\, most importantly\, price discovery. We will also roleplay a phone call between an organic grain farmer and an organic grain buyer. \nThis event is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).

It is created and captured through the markets we build the relationships we nurture and the stories we tell from soil to shelf. \nThis virtual webinar explores how farmers\, food makers\, and organic entrepreneurs can move beyond selling raw commodities to intentionally design value added products and market pathways that reward organic practices.\nThrough real world case studies and practical examples\, we will examine how successful organic businesses have transformed crops into brands’ brands into categories and products into resilient value chains. \nParticipants will learn how today’s conscious consumers make buying decisions where value is gained or lost along the organic supply chain and how small shifts in product format function audience or narrative can unlock new markets. Whether you are selling at farmers markets working with regional distributors pitching retailers or building a direct-to-consumer presence this session will help you see your organic product not just as food but as part of a larger market system you can shape. \nThis event is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).
