Join the organic solution

There are a few times in human history when rapid transformation is possible. This is one of those times. Today’s issues — climate change, declining human health, world-wide hunger, ecological devastation — taken individually seem overwhelming.

Research from The Organic Center and Rodale Institute prove there is a solution to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Organic is the solution.

"Ripe for Revolution: The Organic Solution" is not just another evening event, but a moment in history. A convening of leaders from all fields for an inspiring and thought-provoking event where cutting-edge research is presented in the spirit of collaboration to spark change.

Join The Organic Center and Rodale Institute as we present the holistic and integrative pieces that make up the organic solution. Where you can be counted among those global leaders solving problems rather than creating them.

The Organic Center

About The Organic Center

The Organic Center’s unique mission to advance verifiable scientific research behind the health and environmental benefits of organic foods, and to communicate those benefits to the public, is built upon a guiding vision. We envision improved health for the earth and its inhabitants through conversion of agriculture to organic methods. Citizens need credible, peer-reviewed evidence on how organic products and systems benefit human health and the environment in order for more people to choose organic products and thus shift. With more information at hand, consumers, civic organizations, government agencies, and the many businesses that make up the organic chain of custody play key roles in the stewardship of our public and planetary health.

The Rodale Institute

About Rodale Institute

Rodale Institute’s mission is to provide farmers with the know-how, tools, and techniques they need to succeed; policy-makers the information they need to best support our farmers and the food production system that is best for our health and environment; and consumers with the resources they need to make informed decisions about the food they buy and eat. Rodale Institute grew out of the vision of J.I. Rodale who in the 1930s asserted that healthy soil = healthy food = healthy people®. Bob Rodale expanded on J.I.’s pioneering work in organics, building an institution dedicated to both innovative research and education. Learn more at www.rodaleinstitute.org.
