Community, Agriculture, Recreation and Resource<br />
Studies at Michigan State University. Here he shows<br />
the consolidation of small organic companies now<br />
owned by corporate giants. These changes have<br />
occurred since 1997 with the development of the<br />
USDA National Organic Standard. According to Dr.<br />
Howard, “Few companies identify these ownership<br />
ties on product labels.” For more graphics, visit<br />
