GEORGE SIEMON: C-E-I-E-I-O

摘要

One of the nation's foremost organic agriculture advocates for nearly two decades, George Siemon is best known for his leadership in organizing farmers and building market support for organic agriculture. Himself an organic farmer, Siemon champions a system that supports small farmers, defends humane treatment of farm animals, benefits the environment and gives consumers high-quality organic food. In 1988, Siemon joined a half-dozen neighboring family farmers to found the Cooperative Regions of Organic Producer Pools (CROPP), known more familiarly as Organic Valley Family of Farms.
