History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 111998-06 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The organic farming industry has a long history dating back to the early 20th century when Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher, introduced the concept of biodynamic farming. In the 1940s, J.I. Rodale, an American publisher, popularized the term "organic" and advocated for the use of compost and natural fertilizers. In the 1960s and 1970s, the organic movement gained momentum in Europe and North America, with the establishment of organic certification standards and the growth of organic food markets. In recent years, the organic farming industry has continued to expand globally, with increasing consumer demand for organic products and government support for organic agriculture. In the United States, the organic farming industry has experienced significant growth in the past few decades. In 1990, the Organic Foods Production Act was passed, which established national standards for organic agriculture and created the National Organic Program. Since then, the number of certified organic farms in the US has grown from just over 2,000 in 1992 to more than 18,000 in 2019. The organic industry has also expanded beyond food to include textiles, personal care products, and other consumer goods. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in regenerative agriculture, which emphasizes soil health and biodiversity, and many organic farmers are adopting these practices as well.
