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.

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 \n NameThis 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 \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.
