Growing Futures in Organic

Why It Matters

OCN is rooted in the four principles of organic agriculture as defined by IFOAM—principles that shape not just how we grow food, but how we relate to land, people, and the planet. These values guide our work to create more inclusive, just, and sustainable pathways into organic careers:

Health

Organic supports the health of soils, ecosystems, and people. We believe careers in organic should nourish workers just as much as they nourish the food system.

Ecology

Organic agriculture is rooted in living ecological systems and cycles. From farm fields to food policy, we need leaders who understand the interconnectedness of all life.

Fairness

Organic must be built on relationships of trust, respect, and justice. OCN is committed to expanding access and equity in an industry where too many have been left out.

Care

Organic agriculture requires responsible stewardship—of land, of people, and of future generations. Our programs prepare you to lead with intention and integrity.
