This bill, titled the "Opportunities in Organic Act," amends the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. It transforms the existing national organic certification cost-share program into a comprehensive Opportunities in Organic program . The program aims to assist producers and handlers with organic certification and provide extensive support and technical assistance for transitioning to organic and managing organic operations. The bill retains and modifies the federal organic certification cost-share, directing the Secretary of Agriculture to pay costs incurred by producers or handlers for obtaining certification. While a maximum payment of $1,500 is set, the Secretary may exceed this amount to ensure certification costs are not a barrier, particularly for producers in regions with disproportionately high costs or those who are members of socially disadvantaged groups . A key new provision is the awarding of funding to eligible nonprofit organizations to build capacity and directly support the transition to organic. These organizations can use funds for activities like recruitment, application assistance, financial planning, technical assistance for organic management practices, and facilitating mentor-mentee relationships. They can also provide direct "transition and resilience funding" to existing organic operations, socially disadvantaged farmers, or small/mid-sized farms for a 4-year term, covering costs such as developing organic system plans, adopting organic management practices, and addressing land access barriers. Nonprofits are also empowered to support organic supply chain development , with a focus on strengthening opportunities for socially disadvantaged farmers, small/mid-sized farms, and vulnerable agricultural regions. The bill mandates increased regional resources for organic management and technical assistance through various USDA agencies, universities, and cooperative extension programs. Finally, it requires detailed annual reporting on program participants, demographics, barriers to certification, and research findings. To support these expanded initiatives, the bill significantly increases authorized funding, allocating $50,000,000 for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 , $80,000,000 for fiscal year 2029 , and $100,000,000 for fiscal years 2030 and 2031 .
