The Non‐GMO Supply Working Group Newsletter was created to keep members connected and
updated on the progress of the Working Group. We are making great strides and it is important
to share these developments to encourage collaboration and identify opportunities, which are
beneficial to everyone's work. The newsletter is a quarterly publication and includes information on
current developments and collaborations, a summary of the discussion occurring in the group's
Google forum, notifications of future events, and instances of Non‐GMO news coverage. As we
continue to publish the newsletter, we are eager to hear your input and how to create the best
content as a resource for our participants. 
Collaborations & Innovations
At the spring meeting in Chicago, Kellee James from Mercaris proposed to create a
tool to better understand and analyze existing infrastructure for segregated non­GMO
grain handling for animal feed and food. Mercaris, in conjunction with the Working

Group, is creating an “Asset Map” to show the geographic distribution of non­GMO
grain suppliers. This will help to facilitate the transition of conventional acreage to non­
GMO production while also showing the importance of expanding organic agricultural
production.
The idea remains to have an interactive, web­accessible tool that will allow a
comprehensive view of grain handling (cleaning, conditioning, processing) facilities by
region.  The map will enable users to understand current infrastructure in relation to
their own facilities and logistics. It will include a categorical display of facilities by state
and give key information, such as crops handled, total handling volume, and percent
operating utilization.
Thanks goes out to Applegate/Gina & Chris, Equilibrium/Atish & Rob, Hiland/Dan
Masters and Minsa/Rodrigo in providing the funds to launch this project.  We are
beginning with facilities in the Northeast, and will have a working prototype available for
the group to test out at the October meeting.
 
If you would like to be a part of the effort, please contact Todd Jones at

USDA Non­GMO Process Verified Certification
8/5/2015 Campaign Overview | MailChimp
https://us11.admin.mailchimp.com/campaigns/show?id=256517 3/5
The recent USDA announcement of new GMO­free product labeling has been a large
item of discussion among the working group. A letter by Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack on May 1st to his staff detailed a USDA ‘Process Verified’ label that would be
voluntary for consumer packaged goods. This label was requested by a “leading global
company”, later disclosed to be the company SunOpta, who received the first
verification label for non­GMO corn and soybeans.
The Associated Press received a copy of this letter and writer Mary Clare Jalonick
wrote an article on its contents on May 14th. The article has been circulated among
news sources with a generally optimistic air, implying a progressive outlook on
governmental regulation of genetically engineered products and a large gain for the
non­GMO movement... Read More
Chipotle Non­GMO Commitment
Another exciting development discussed by the working group is the recent
announcement made by Chipotle about their sourcing of all non­GMO ingredients in
their US based restaurants. The company was quick to receive criticism from several
news sources, accusing Chipotle of being "anti­science", despite accommodating
consumer demands. 
Members of the group were quick to suggest ways to address this accusation, favoring
an approach that is accepting of scientific evidence and one that hopes to create a
discourse on the science behind genetic engineering and its impact on our wellness
and the planet's... Read More

About the Group
The Non­GMO Supply Working Group is a multi­stakeholder collaboration that is
building the supply of non­GMO food and feed in the US. This group identifies key
barriers to growing non­GMO supply and rapidly develops and deploys strategic
market interventions designed to create an orderly, cost­effective transition to non­
GMO that works for all stakeholders, from producers to processors to brands. 
The purpose of this newsletter is to inform participants about recent developments in
the working group. Members can learn about discussions from the group's online
forum, new projects undertaken by both the group and individual participants, upcoming
events and meetings, and current news coverage pertaining to Non­GMO food
sourcing.
