Meet Newton: He's transitioning conventional farmland to organic - no easy task. In fact, less than 1 percent of farmland in the US is certified organic. Part of the reason is farmers like Newton have to implement more costly methods for three years to become certified organic. And while more organic farmland is good for all of us, it's difficult for farmers to make the change because they don't see a return on investment immediately. So let's do something about it. The Kashi Transitional farms initiative was created so together we can help farmers like Newton transition their farmland. During Newton's conversion process, we're making a cereal using some of his transitional grains - which are certified by Quality Assurance International to ensure they are grown using sustainable processes and avoid genetically modified seeds as well as synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Our hope is to convert more acreage every year so we can increase the percentage of organic farmland and make more organic cereals like this one. The more we all become aware, the more farmers we can help to make a difference together. Together we can help farmers like Newton transition their farmland to organic.
