NOTE ON SPRING 2017: There were no split/contested votes at this meeting
NOTE: The Cornucopia Institute has updated its scorecard analyzing the votes of NOSB members. Current scores are based on the positions taken by nonprofit organizations that monitor activity by the USDA and NOSB. This clearly illustrates the divide between the positions taken by the farmers and consumer groups that helped build the organic movement, and the corporate lobby (disproportionally represented on the NOSB). Scores for former members may include votes not listed. See archived votes document for pre-2011 meetings.
NOTE ON ABSTENTIONS: Abstentions do not support the position of The Cornucopia Institute and other public interest groups. Unlike recusals based on legitimate conflicts of interest, abstentions are often used by members to shelter themselves from potential criticism.
