Subject: [COMFOOD:] new brochure on eco-labels for farmers
To: Community Food <comfood@elist.tufts.edu>


Lia Spaniolo, a graduate student at Michigan State University, has
recently put together a brochure, "Eco-Label Programs for Michigan
Farmers,"  to assist farmers in determining which, if any, are
appropriate and beneficial for their operations. It describes some
more established labels, as well as some that are in development. It
also has a checklist that summarizes the broad criteria embodied in
each label.

Most of the 13 eco-labels summarized in this brochure are also
available to farmers in other US states. These include: American
Grassfed, American Humane Certified, Animal Welfare Approved,
Certified Humane Raised & Handled, Certified Naturally Grown, Demeter
Biodynamic, Domestic Fair Trade, Family Farmed, Food Alliance,
Predator Friendly, Protected Harvest, Select Michigan, USDA Organic.

Here is a link to the brochure in pdf format:
