Help inform policies, programs, and funding to improve organic marketing
The California Institute for Rural Studies, a nonprofit research institution working to promote sustainable agriculture and increased viability of California farmers (http://www.cirsinc.org), is studying marketing barriers affecting small and mid-sized organic farmers. The goal of this research is to learn more about the marketing challenges facing organic farmers and to identify solutions for addressing them.

If you are a California organic farmer, please take a few moments to share your experience with marketing and your thoughts about solutions and recommendations to improve marketing via this survey.
