Wisconsin Statewide Organic Community of Practice

The Wisconsin Statewide Organic Community of Practice is a cross-sector learning network that brings together farmers, food businesses, certifiers, researchers, nonprofits, and agency partners to strengthen Wisconsin’s organic sector. Convened by Wisconsin Organics, the group meets regularly online to share timely information, compare on-the-ground experiences, and surface common challenges and opportunities facing organic production and markets in the state. Participants collaborate on practical solutions, coordinate outreach and events, and help align research, technical assistance, and policy efforts so Wisconsin’s organic farms and rural communities can thrive.
