What People Say about The Organic & Non-GMO Report

I appreciate the journalism of Ken Roseboro and The Organic & Non-GMO Report. He has provided a needed journalistic voice for the organic and non-GMO communities, and his work has been a big help to advance the organic and non-GMO markets.

- Lynn Clarkson, CEO,
Clarkson Grain, Cerro Gordo, IL

The Organic & Non-GMO Report is the best resource for keeping up with alternative ag production, farmers and CPG marketing, both thorough and comprehensive. I am a longtime paid subscriber. 5/5 stars.

- Errol Schweizer, leading retail merchandising, product development and brand strategy expert and publisher of The Checkout Grocery Update

The Organic & Non-GMO Report was not only the first publication to devote itself to non-GMO and organic grain news, it remains the most important dedicated news source for information about the topics that are important to the farmers and businesses that are working in this space.

- Tom Ehrhardt, Vice-President,
Albert Lea Seed House, Albert Lea, MN

Our policy, standards and purchasing crews depend on The Organic & Non-GMO Report to identify new sources of synthetic ingredients so we can avoid them. Without this important and focused resource, navigating the supply chain would be overwhelming, and setting clear comprehensive standards would be almost impossible. On the flip side, we often refer our vendors here when they are looking for non-GMO and organic ingredient sources.
