Certified organic farmers use no rBGH, grow no GE food, use antibiotics
only when animals are sick, and use limited amounts of organic pesticides. These
practices reduce the potential for food safety problems.
FoodRoutes Network collaborates with organizations to promote local, state, and regional food system initiatives and to create replicable, cost-effective models that can be disseminated to a wide range of audiences. Evaluating the impacts of initiatives and sharing lessons learned is an integral part of this model-building process. Find out more about these collaborative initiatives below.
