THE CORNUCOPIA INSTITUTE
The Cornucopia Institute is a 21-year-old nonprofit watchdog for organic food and a trusted messenger for organic advocates who want to align their purchases with their values. Through its consumer tools, policy work, and investigations into the organic marketplace, Cornucopia uncovers the truth behind organic food and advocates for an organic label consumers and retailers can trust. Organic shoppers and community grocers play a critical role in charitable giving to the nonprofit, which serves both audiences by going behind the labels to bring transparency to the farming practices and ownership structures of organic brands.
Cornucopia Executive Director Melody Morrell says, "Thanks to the generosity of Natural Grocers, organic shoppers can invest their food dollars to heal people and the planet. Together, we are driving demand for the best organic food, ensuring tomorrow's innovative organic brands have a chance, and keeping dedicated organic farmers on the land."
