Impactful Policy Frameworks
USDA Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) Rule (2023)
The USDA's new rule significantly strengthens oversight and enforcement of the organic supply chain, requiring more robust certification and traceability.
This policy will increase compliance requirements for any Four Star Greenhouse products marketed as organic, potentially raising operational costs but also strengthening consumer trust.
Farm Bill (Various iterations, latest 2018, reauthorization pending)
The Farm Bill provides funding for agricultural research, conservation programs, and support for specialty crops, including horticulture.
Continued or increased funding for horticultural research and development under the Farm Bill could directly benefit Four Star Greenhouse's R&D efforts and market development.
Clean Water Act (CWA) Regulations
The CWA regulates discharges of pollutants into U.S. waters and controls point source pollution through effluent limitations and permits.
Four Star Greenhouse must adhere to strict water quality standards and obtain necessary permits for any water discharges, impacting their irrigation and runoff management practices.
