First ANSI Sustainable Agriculture Standard E-Newsletter Published

The committee drafting an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Sustainable Agriculture Standard (SCS-001) has published its first quarterly e-newsletter to report on standard development activities and solicit donations to support the work. The newsletter provides the names of those recently appointed to serve on the standards committee and includes subcommittee reports. The next meeting will apparently be scheduled sometime between March and June 2010 at the University of Arkansas. Shook, Hardy & Bacon attorneys James Andreasen and Chris McDonald have been monitoring the committee’s work on behalf of a coalition of stakeholders concerned about early drafts developed without industry input.
