National TOPP Meetings

NOC is leveraging our role as a convener to facilitate national Transition to Organic Partnership (TOPP) meetings twice each for relationship-building and information exchange among TOPP organizations. In April, NOC convened the third national, in-person TOPP gathering in Milwaukee, WI, in conjunction with the Spring 2024 National Organic Standards Board meeting. This gathering focused on connecting TOPP partners across the country, addressing challenges in the organic workforce, and discussing the impact of the TOPP program. Leads and representatives from all six TOPP regions, national partners, and the National Organic Program (NOP), gathered for the meeting.
