Join Rodale Institute in Berks County to celebrate a virtual Organic Pioneer Month with the 2020 winners of its Organic Pioneer Awards.

Every year, Rodale Institute celebrates the organic movement’s rich history and bright future by honoring three change-making individuals at our annual fundraiser.

This year's award winners are:

-- Dr. Tyrone Hayes, integrative biologist famous for his research on the effects of the herbicide atrazine on amphibians and public health.

-- Katherine DiMatteo, former Executive Director of the Organic Trade Association who was instrumental in creating the organic standard.

-- Lundberg Family Farms, third-generation organic rice producer that has been farming organically since 1937 in California.

Organic Pioneer Month kicks off September 1, with special digital content, an exclusive live panel discussion, and a raffle that will transport you right to the birthplace of the movement.
