Today will we will be discussing how the program started and why the USDA cannot legally certify cannabis as an agriculturally recognized crop.

Summary:

• The Clean Green Certified Cannabis Program started in 2004 to provide a certification program for cannabis that follows organic methods.
• Cannabis cannot be USDA National Organic Program certified because it is not an agriculturally recognized crop.
• Consumers can find Clean Green certified products by looking for the Clean Green certified logo on the retail label and the verified member badge on the brand’s website.
• The Clean Green Certified podcast aims to educate listeners about the sustainable farming practices in the cannabis industry and highlight the farmers and processors who are part of the program.
