In this short video, Douglas Korb, Database Technology and Development Manager at the Organic Trade Association, shares how the work happening behind the scenes helps inform advocacy efforts, strengthen relationships, and advance organic policy on Capitol Hill.

Why Organic Week Matters
Every year, Organic Week brings together producers, processors, brands, retailers, certifiers, researchers, policymakers, and advocates who share a common goal: advancing organic.
As Doug explains, meaningful change starts when people come together to exchange ideas, build relationships, and advocate for policies that support a thriving organic sector.
By attending Organic Week, you'll have the opportunity to:
- Connect with leaders from across the organic value chain
- Participate in Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill
- Engage in conversations shaping the future of organic policy
- Learn from experts on today's most pressing industry issues
- Build relationships that strengthen the organic community long after the event ends
This year's theme, Organic Starts With You, celebrates the individuals and organizations whose ideas, leadership, and commitment continue to grow the organic movement.
Whether you're joining us for the educational sessions, networking opportunities, or advocacy efforts, Organic Week is where the organic community comes together to make a lasting impact.
