ORGANIZATION SUMMARY:
HISTORY
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture has been certifying products as organic according to its own state standards since 1991. The USDA National Organic Program was implemented October 21, 2002. The Idaho State Department of Agrriculture's organic program must now certify that food products follow USDA's National Organic Program.

FUNDING
State government agencies do not receive external funds.

STRUCTURE
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) accredits all organic certifiers. Changes made to the National Organic Program and its standards are made through the USDA. State Departments of Agriculture may apply for amended standards through the USDA. USDA-accredited state departments are considered to be public organic certifiers and therefore do not have a Board of Directors.
 
BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
none
