Organic Egg Production Target of Cornucopia Institute Analysis

A new Cornucopia Institute report examines four methods of organic
egg production—pasture-based with mobile housing, “pasture raised”
using fixed housing with access to adjacent pastures, fixed housing with
minimum outdoor access and industrial scale.

Titled “Scrambled Eggs: Separating Factory Farm Egg Production from
Authentic Organic Agriculture,” the analysis also discusses animal
welfare standards and evaluates animal welfare labels. An accompanying
“scorecard” rates various brands of eggs based on 28 criteria, showcasing
the “true heroes, including national and local producers that are
supplying ethically-produced organic eggs and are worthy of consumer
support.” See Cornucopia News Release, December 15, 2015.
