Florida Crystals recently announced that its organic sugar and organic molasses are now Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC), according to a press release. Florida Crystals' 10,000-acre organic farm - the only ROC farmland in Florida - earned the certification after the company demonstrated it grows its organic sugarcane following the principles of regenerative agriculture that meet the highest standards for soil health and carbon capture along with fairness to farmers and workers. ROC uses the USDA Certified Organic standard as a baseline. From there, it adds important criteria and benchmarks that requires farms to go above and beyond in practices that maximize healthy soil, carbon sequestration, biodiversity and fairness for farmers and employees - into one certification.
