Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC) for Farms & Brands
Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC) builds on USDA Organic to verify measurable commitments to soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness across the supply chain.
Get Regenerative Organic Certification for Your Farm or Product
At WFCF, we recognize that many producers want to go beyond the baseline of USDA Organic certification. That is where Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC) comes in. ROC builds on the foundation of USDA Organic and adds stricter benchmarks for soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness.
This certification is designed to reward farmers, ranchers, and food brands that prioritize practices such as:
-
Improving soil fertility and biodiversity through regenerative farming methods
-
Ensuring organic livestock certification standards are met and exceeded with enhanced pasture access, rotational grazing, and humane animal care
-
Supporting the well-being of farmworkers and communities through fair labor practices
For example, a ranch that already holds USDA Organic livestock certification can take the next step by pursuing regenerative organic certification for cattle, demonstrating a deeper commitment to land stewardship and ethical production.
