Summary in the original language of the document

During the thirty years since the passage of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990, the domestic organic sector has dramatically changed in size and scope. Yet organic products remain a small portion of the U.S. food system. As the industry continues to mature, new challenges face the organic sector. Supply issues, questions about the organic standards, integrity concerns, and growing interest in alternate labels have been growing in frequency. At this juncture in the development of the organic sector, increasing the amount of applied economic research addressing the needs of organic food and agriculture is critical to support the vibrancy of the sector. As a start, we assess the extant body of literature and the availability of data to conduct applied economic research.
