About the Organic Land Care Program

---

Our Mission

The NOFA Organic Land Care Program was formed to extend the vision and principles of organic agriculture to the care of the landscapes where most people live, work, play, and otherwise spend their daily lives.

The mission of the committee is to educate land care professionals and concerned citizens in the practice of organic land care, with the goals of:

• Maintaining soil health;
• Eliminating synthetic pesticide and synthetic fertilizer use;
• Increasing landscape diversity; and
• Improving the health and well being of the people and web of life in our care.
