The Organic INTEGRITY Database

dataset
posted on 2024-02-09, 18:23 authored by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service

The Organic INTEGRITY Database is a certified organic operations database that contains up-to-date and accurate information about operations that may and may not sell as organic, deterring fraud, increases supply chain transparency for buyers and sellers, and promotes market visibility for organic operations.

Only certified operations can sell, label, or represent products as organic, unless exempt or excluded from certification. The INTEGRITY database improves access to certified organic operation information by giving industry and public users an easier way to search for data with greater precision than the formerly posted Annual Lists of Certified Operations. You can find a certified organic farm or business, or search for an operation with specific characteristics such as:

  • The status of an operation: Certified, Surrendered, Revoked, or Suspended
  • The scopes for which an operation is certified: Crops, Livestock, Wild Crops, or Handling
  • The organic commodities and services that operations offer. A new, more structured classification system (sample provided) will help you find more of what you’re looking for and details about the flexible taxonomy can be found in the INTEGRITY Categories and Items list.
