Abstract

U.S. agriculture has been affected by unexpected events over the past few years, including the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, drought, the war in Ukraine, and high inflation. Organic commodity producers were further affected by lost markets, labor shortages, and difficulty obtaining or renewing their organic certification. In 2021, the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service recorded an 11-percent decrease in certified organic land and an 18-percent decrease in land transitioning to organic compared with 2019. Additionally, the number of producers who reported they would be decreasing or discontinuing organic production increased to 8 percent from 6 percent during that time.
