We are pleased to share with you our latest publication, *Biodiversity
Conservation: An Organic Farmer’s and Certifier’s Guide.*
<http://www.wildfarmalliance.org/biodiversity_guide?e=4e59c0e2244ec17d347f12a74f4fd3a6&utm_source=wildfarmalliance&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bdguiderelease1&n=3>

The Guide clarifies the National Organic Program’s (NOP) new Natural
Resources and Biodiversity Conservation Guidance (released January 2016).
<http://www.wildfarmalliance.org/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ams.usda.gov%2Fcontent%2Fusda-publishes-guidance-natural-resources-and-biodiversity-conservation-organic-operations&e=4e59c0e2244ec17d347f12a74f4fd3a6&utm_source=wildfarmalliance&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bdguiderelease1&n=4>
The
Guide will also increase organic farmers’ and certifiers’ understanding of
the myriad of benefits provided by biodiversity conservation.

Outcomes ranging from enhanced pollination and improved pest control, to
cleaner water sources can help an organic operation perform optimally.
WFA’s new Guide gives farmers and certifiers practical and effective
information to not only be in compliance but also to take advantage of the
ecosystem benefits related to biodiversity.

Organic certifiers from across the country will use this Guide to help
their farmers. Sean Feder, Director of Inspection Operations with
California Certified Organic Farmers
<http://www.wildfarmalliance.org/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ccof.org%2F&e=4e59c0e2244ec17d347f12a74f4fd3a6&utm_source=wildfarmalliance&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bdguiderelease1&n=6>
stated that WFA’s Guide “will contribute to improved understanding and
implementation among producers and certifiers.”

Organic operations that use the USDA National Organic Program label are
obligated to conserve biodiversity and maintain or improve the natural
resources, including soil, water, wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife. The
Natural Resources and Biodiversity Conservation Guidance
<http://www.wildfarmalliance.org/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ams.usda.gov%2Fcontent%2Fusda-publishes-guidance-natural-resources-and-biodiversity-conservation-organic-operations&e=4e59c0e2244ec17d347f12a74f4fd3a6&utm_source=wildfarmalliance&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bdguiderelease1&n=7>was
published to ensure uniform compliance of these regulations that have been
in place since the NOP’s inception.

Please help us get this *important resource*

into the hands of organic farmers and certifiers across the country.
