Industry standard in the works for grass-fed dairy

The American Grassfed Association (AGA) is working on a new industry-wide grass-fed dairy standard, the certifier hopes to roll out soon. AGA is working with producers and with others in the industry, including OCA, Mercola.com and the Savory Institute, to develop a label that takes into account:

• Animal health and nutrition

• Transparency of practices and claims

• Holistic land and soil management

• Support and validation for producers

• Building a certified organic standard while providing a bridge with non-organic grass-fed claims
