eOrganic publishes articles, videos, webinars, and online courses about organic farming and research at http://extension.org/organic_production . Articles and videos are peer reviewed and checked for compliance with national organic regulations, and eOrganic has archived over 250 recordings from organic conferences and webinars on current organic research topics. eOrganic has participated in 68 NIFA OREI and ORG projects and archived publications or presentations for at least 26 others, as well as Beginning Farmer, AFRI, RMA, SARE and other national and international organic research projects. Although many of the materials were prepared by researchers, the content is accessible for a general audience of farmers, and agricultural educators and service providers. The result is a publicly available collection of reliable information on organic farming and research that is increasingly being used in university courses for students of organic agriculture. Examples of how eOrganic resources are being used in organic agriculture classes will be provided.
