In a nutshell, to obtain certification as USDA Organic, crops and animal foods have to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ams.usda.gov\/grades-standards\/organic-standards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fulfill a set of criteria<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> believed to ladder up to a healthier, more natural end product. A few examples? The land certified organic crops are grown on has to be free of prohibited substances (like certain synthetic chemicals) for at least three years before those crops are harvested; genetic engineering is a no-go, as is any use of sewage sludge (which yes, is apparently a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in conventional modern agriculture); and livestock must be fed 100 percent organic feed and have year-round access to the outdoors.

Nothing is perfect, after all! However, as many environmental activists would argue, creating systems of producing food and other goods that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">truly<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> minimize harm to the world around us\u2014and even work to actively <em>regenerate<\/em> that world\u2014requires efforts beyond those captured by the USDA Organic criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s exactly where Regenerative Organic Certified<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae comes in.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal of this new certification is to go above and beyond any other single certification out there to capture \u201cthe highest standards for organic agriculture in the world, with stringent requirements for soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness,\u201d according to the website of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/regenorganic.org\/why-regenerative-organic\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Organic Alliance,<\/span><\/a> the nonprofit that created the certification<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider Regenerative Organic Certified\u00ae the Holy Grail of certifications, signifying that you can trust in the care put into each step required to produce whatever you’re buying. Think<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of restorative farming practices that build soil and ensure animals can live peacefully, as well as healthy working conditions and fair wages for all humans involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cToday\u2019s farming practices aren\u2019t sustainable; they\u2019re harming our health and the health of the planet,\u201d says Dr. Josh Axe, D.N.M., D.C., C.N., a doctor of natural medicine and the co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/b\/ancient-nutrition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ancient Nutrition<\/a>, whose latest line of supplements are ROC\u2122. \u201cRegenerative Organic Certified\u00ae favors regenerative agriculture practices that rebuild the soil, sequester carbon, and enhance biodiversity. It isn\u2019t new; it\u2019s ancient and it\u2019s just the right way to farm.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Essentially, if you want to make sure a food or product you’re buying comes from operations that really do\u00a0<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the most<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> possible to look out for the health of the planet and all who call it home, look for that Regenerative Organic Certified\u00ae seal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One detail worth noting? You might notice that there are three different levels of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Organic Certified<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Unsurprisingly, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/regenorganic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Regenerative-Organic-Certified-Framework.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">requirements become increasingly stringent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as you work your way up the ladder. For example, while a Bronze-level operation has to rotate at least three crops on any given piece of its farm (crop rotation is important for maintaining and building soil health), a Gold-level operation must rotate seven (including one crop that specifically works to rebalance levels of nitrogen in the soil).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Backstory<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Regenerative Organic Certified<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae was created by a group of \u201cexperts in farming, ranching, soil health, animal welfare, and farmer and worker fairness\u201d who came together to form a nonprofit called the Regenerative Organic Alliance. You may have heard of its three founders before: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patagonia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbronner.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Bronner\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rodaleinstitute.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rodale Institute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their mission?

There are certifications like USDA Organic to check the box for healthier farming practices, Certified Humane for protecting the quality of life of livestock, and Fair Trade Certified to look after the treatment of workers involved in farming and sourcing. Honestly, it can all get a little confusing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And it’s just as much as a cluster for the people creating these foods and products. Typically, obtaining <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">various certifications to show the world that a product is created with the well-being of all involved in mind is a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">huge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> undertaking for farmers and brands. So, in addition to making shopping for the best-of-the-best sustainable products easier for consumers, Regenerative Organic Certified\u00ae also provides a <a href=\"https:\/\/regenorganic.org\/our-story\/#1598461455279-e65103b1-bf72\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clear, streamlined path for the people behind those products<\/a> to let shoppers know that they’re working hard to “do it right.” It’s a win-win, really.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Takeaway<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re always doing your homework on the food, clothing, and personal products you buy because you want to make sure they\u2019re as good for the planet as they are delicious, stylish, or effective, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Organic Certified<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae is essentially a one-and-done assurance that you\u2019ve got the good stuff (like the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> good stuff).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No other certification out there right now is as all-encompassing or ambitious as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Organic Certified<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae, so you know brands with this pretty little emblem on their products are truly working their hardest to do right by you, the environment, and other living beings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the age of greenwashing, many companies try to protect a climate-friendly image, but it isn\u2019t always genuine,\u201d says Axe. “At Ancient Nutrition, we are very serious about our climate-friendly initiatives\u2014and now we have achieved the highest standard certification for our newest line of products: Regenerative Organic Certified\u00ae.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cool news: Ancient Nutrition is the very first dietary supplement brand to offer a line of ROC\u2122 products.)
