Expand federal support and research funding for organic farming and agricultural practices.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Opportunities in Organic Act?
The Opportunities in Organic Act is currently pending in the House Subcommittee on Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture as of March 19, 2026, and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry as of January 27, 2026. Members of these committees must hold a vote to move the bills forward, but the binding constraint is that most agricultural legislation fails to receive a committee vote. History shows that committee inaction is the most common way for bills to end without reaching the floor.
