In the scenic mountains of Skagit Valley, Washington, I had the opportunity to attend the Inauguration Day of the Pacific Northwest Organic Center (formally Cascadian Farm) organized by the Rodale Institute. This event brought together a community of researchers, farmers, students and educators—all united by a shared passion for organic agriculture. The Rodale Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that researches and shares regenerative organic agriculture practices that restore soil health, combat climate change and regulate the food system.
