SUMMARY:May Lunch & Learn – The Front Lines of Integrity: Farm-Level Enforcement and Advanced Fraud Detection
DESCRIPTION:The Front Lines of Integrity: Farm-Level Enforcement and Advanced Fraud Detection\nAs the organic supply chain grows in complexity, the risk of fraud increases, demanding more sophisticated tools and rigorous oversight. This session merges two critical presentations from the ACA Annual Meetings in 2025 and 2026 to provide a comprehensive roadmap for modern enforcement, combining technical advancements with practical, real-world application at the farm level.\nWe will explore how the synergy between mass balance auditing and authenticity testing is reshaping the battle against fraud. Attendees will navigate the current landscape of 2026, reviewing the policy shifts driving federal oversight and the practical tools available for on-farm detection.\nFurthermore, the session will highlight the critical bridge between the field and the lab, featuring experts Dr. Ramy Colfer, TRUE Organic Products, updates on Midwest Laboratories’ activities from Dr. Armando Colorado, and the ongoing marketplace efforts to achieve AOAC validation for organic authenticity methods.\nClick here to register.\n
