Biography/History
James Michael Sligh was born in Lubbock, Texas, on March 31, 1950, and grew up spending summers on his family's farm and ranch. While attending university, he served as a purchasing agent and organizer for an Athens, Georgia food cooperative. He graduated from the University of Georgia in 1972 with a B.A. in cultural anthropology and archeology and was involved in field work focused on southeastern Native American culture and history. Influenced by his grandmother's embrace of the approach to farming popularized in J.I. Rodale's publication, Organic Farming and Gardening, he operated Spring Hollow Farms, an organic crop and vegetable farm, in Lafayette, Tennessee (1973-1976) as well as working on two commercial farming operations in Summertown, Tennessee (Farm Foods) and Florida, 1977-1982. He also became involved with a number of grassroots farmers' organizations, such as the Tennessee Alternative Growers Association (founding board member, Board of Directors), circa 1977-1982.
He then took a stint from farming to direct a sustainable agriculture program, funded by the Canadian International development Agency (CIDA), aimed at increasing crop diversification, providing technical assistance to farmers, conducting variety trials, and implementing sustainable agricultural practices in the Windward Islands of the West Indies (1983-1984). There he witnessed up close drastic impacts from intensive conventional mono-crop production for export under predatory contracts that left small farmers and workers in poverty with health impacts from aerial and unprotected pesticide spraying. This motivated him to return to the U.S. to focus on policy change that encourages and rewards more sustainable, organic, and fair farming practices.
Sligh returned to the U.S. in September 1984 to accept a position working for the Rural Advancement Fund as a rural educator, organizer, and policy analyst during the height of the U.S. "farm crisis." He helped organize the United Farmers Organization, a multi-racial two-state farmer-led organization focused on providing help to farmers facing foreclosure. This included establishing "hot-lines" which helped lead to a national moratorium on farm foreclosures, federal credit reforms adopted in the 1985 Farm Bill, and lawsuits that addressed discrimination in farm lending practices.
During this period, as a member of the Agricultural Crisis Task Force of the South Carolina Christian Action Council and the South Carolina Christian Action Task Force on Agriculture and Environment, he helped to encourage faith communities to support actions to prevent farm foreclosures, and organized outreach activities for farmers and consumers related to the farm crisis. In the late 1980s, Sligh also served as a consultant to the Dairy Committee and the Agricultural Policy Committee of the National Family Farm Coalition (NFFC) to develop national dairy reforms. He was a regional organizer for the United Farmers and Ranchers Congress, sponsored by Farm-Aid in 1986, convening over three thousand farmers to call for federal agriculture policy reforms. Moving beyond merely saving farms, Sligh then turned to focus on farming practices that would win consumer support and better prices.
After working for several years with RAFI's Farm Survival Project, he served as the organization's Director of Sustainable Agriculture (circa 1990-2000), which included work on the local and regional level, such as serving on the board of the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (CFSA) and as chair of the South Carolina Sustainable Agriculture Network. From 1997 to 1998, he worked with southeast U.S. tobacco farmers, as well as government and community representatives, in a series of discussions ensuring that the tobacco settlement included funding for economic development alternatives for communities impacted by the tobacco settlement agreement of 1998. He also served on the Board of Directors of Weaver Street Market, a retail grocery cooperative. At the federal level, he was involved with development of the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) legislation and program, Organic Research and Education Initiative, (OREI), the Organic Certification Cost-Share Program, as well as other conservation and plant breeding initiatives at USDA. He worked on every Farm Bill from 1985 to the present.
This work led to launching the RAFI-USA Just Foods Program, which he directed until his retirement in 2018. The five major areas addressed by the Just Foods Program are:
1) Organic integrity (defense and promotion of organic standards and policies), which included work on the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA), and serving as founding chairman of the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), which was responsible for development of U.S. organic regulations and the National Organic Program (NOP). He helped establish the National Organic Coalition and the Organic Farmers Association to ensure farmers and consumer voices could be clearly heard on Capitol Hill. Also, he served on UN/FAO/Codex Food Labeling Commission to develop international organic guidelines for its 120-country members, and consulted with FAO on organics and the Sustainability Assessment of Food and Agriculture (SAFA) program.
2) The Agricultural Justice Project (AJP), a domestic fair-trade initiative that established Food Justice Certification standards, as an "add-on" claim for organic operations that meet high standards for farm worker and farmer fairness. This was to demonstrate the critical missing component of fairness, which is lacking in the U.S. National Organic Program. Under his leadership RAFI-USA (along with Organic Valley, Equal Exchange, Farmer Direct, and others) created the Domestic Fair Trade Working Group to stimulate greater awareness and interest in agricultural justice.
3) Biotechnology monitoring to ensure adequate testing and labeling of genetically engineered foods, and accountability for the owners of this technology. Sligh served on the USDA Advisory Committee on Biotechnology and 21st Century Agriculture (AC21), which made recommendations for USDA regarding "terminator technology" and attempted to develop co-existence protocols.
4) Agricultural biodiversity, including Seeds and Breeds for the 21st Century, an initiative to promote and increase funding for regional public plant and animal breeding to meet the challenges of climate change and increased biodiversity for greater farm-level resilience, and to strengthen farmers' and breeders' rights. He also developed Breeding for Organic Production Systems (BOPS), a plant breeding program in partnership with North Carolina farmers and North Carolina State University (NCSU), that established the Southern Farmers Seed Cooperative.
5) General sustainable agriculture support, including work with the Campaign for Sustainable Agriculture, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) and the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group (SSAWG).
Rural Advancement Fund (RAF), Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI), Rural Advancement Foundation International-USA (RAFI-USA):
RAFI-USA originated as the Rural Advancement Fund of the National Sharecroppers Fund, an organization that began in the 1930s and advocated for small farms and farm laborers. The organization known as Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI) was founded in 1977 and worked to raise awareness of life patenting and pending plant patenting legislation. RAFI continued to work during the 1980s and 1990s on conducting research and promoting agricultural biodiversity, as well as educating consumers and farmers on the use of biotechnology in agriculture, including intellectual property issues and corporate concentration. RAFI-USA was incorporated in 1990, to distinguish it from the international organization, Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI), which maintained an office in Canada. RAFI-USA worked on similar issues and concerns. In 2001, RAFI (the Canadian organization) was renamed the Action Group on Erosion, Technology and Concentration (ETC Group), in order to clarify its focus on those three areas, while also maintaining its work on biodiversity, biotechnology, and intellectual property. Meanwhile RAFI-USA continued to use its original name (also known as simply RAFI) and focused on direct planning aid to farmers, on-farm research to improve the financial viability of family farms, contract agriculture reform, labeling programs, and plant and animal biodiversity. The two organizations continue to partner on common concerns.
For further information, see the RAFI-USA website.
In addition to his work at RAFI-USA, Sligh also co-led of a tour of North American farmers to six European countries to study marketing of sustainable agriculture and eco-labeling in 1998, and was a delegate to the Seattle round of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Additionally, he was a founding member of both the National Family Farm Coalition (NFFC, also known as National Save the Family Farm Coalition) and the Citizens Network of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), where he was part of three working groups: 1) sustainable agriculture, developing a national position paper for UNCED; 2) internal group gathering and distributing information from various preparatory committees and agencies meeting for the June 1992 conference; and 3) Consumers Policy Institute/Consumers Union (CPI/CU) international sustainable agriculture initiative, to "develop international position, and hold workshop in Brazil on sustainable ag." He was also a member of the U.S. Delegation to Codex Alimentarius (1992-2002), the Biotechnology Working Group (1990-1998), and served on the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) accreditation committee. He also served on the Board of Directors of the Domestic Fair-Trade Association (DFTA, founded in 2008), including serving as President.
Toward the end of his work at RAFI, he also participated in the development of Regenerative Organic certification, to create market reward for greater carbon sequestration, improved animal welfare, and a modicum of social criteria. He also joined the Real Organic Standards board, to support organic farmers facing unfair market competition due to NOP allowance of hydroponics (soil-less greenhouse production), that are not required to meet all of the same standards as farmers who grow organic in the soil.
After his retirement from an active role at RAFI-USA, he continues to serve as a senior advisor to many of the programs and organizations he initiated, including the National Organic Coalition and the Agricultural Justice Project, and as a policy advisor to the Organic Farmers Association (U.S.). He also serves as Board president of International Organic Accreditation Services (IOAS) and is a founding board member of the Alliance for Organic Integrity, an international organization aimed at encouraging the next generation of organic inspectors, urgent needs for greater consistency across global organic platforms, and innovative partnerships to combat fraud. He lives and works from a small exempt organic farm in western North Carolina.

Scope and Content Note
The Michael Sligh papers document Sligh's long career as an organic farmer, activist, program administrator, policy analyst, and spokesperson for organic and sustainable agriculture. The collection is arranged in roughly chronological order, starting with early farm crisis organizing in the early 1980s until Sligh's retirement in 2018, and includes sixteen series: BIOGRAPHICAL; FARM CRISIS ORGANIZING; SOUTHERN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE WORKING GROUP (SSAWG) and SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION (SARE); NATIONAL SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATIONS; NATIONAL ORGANIC PROGRAM (NOP) and NATIONAL ORGANIC STANDARDS BOARD (NOSB); RURAL ADVANCEMENT FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL (RAFI); OTHER ORGANIZATIONAL FILES-ORGANIC AGRICULTURE; AGRICULTURAL JUSTICE AND FAIR TRADE; BIOTECHNOLOGY; INTERNATIONAL ISSUES, WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION (WTO), and GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TARIFFS AND TRADE (GATT); CODEX, FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO), and UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT (UNCED); SUBJECT FILES; WRITINGS; PHOTOGRAPHS; AUDIO RECORDINGS; and VIDEORECORDINGS.
Issues on which Sligh has worked include agricultural biodiversity, support for public plant and animal breeding, monitoring the use of biotechnology in food production, social justice projects involving agricultural workers, legislation affecting the sustainability of small farm operations, environmental protection, the integrity of national and international organic standards, the implications of trade agreements for agriculture, and systems-based on-farm research. The series include the many organizations with which Sligh has been affiliated over the course of his career, particularly the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), where he was the founding chairman, and Rural Advancement Foundation International-USA (RAFI-USA), where he worked in various capacities from 1984 to 2018. Researchers should be aware that there is overlap between series. While based at RAFI, Sligh was involved with many other organizations, and the arrangement of the series reflects his multi-faceted roles.
The BIOGRAPHICAL series provides an overview of the scope of Sligh's work and includes appointment books, news clippings, résumés, to-do lists, and thank you notes.
The FARM CRISIS ORGANIZING series documents Sligh's work for RAFI's Farm Survival Project (FSP), the National Family Farm Coalition (NFFC, also known as the National Save the Family Farm Coalition (NSFFC)), South Carolina Christian Action Council (SCCAC), Farm Aid, and the United Farmers Organization (UFO), as well as materials from allied organizations primarily in the Southeastern United States. Also included in this series are two folders of material relating to Booker T. Whatley, a Black farmer, author, and entrepreneur.
The SOUTHERN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE WORKING GROUP (SSAWG) and SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION (SARE) series documents the activities of SSAWG, another regional organization of which Sligh was a founder, and includes Farm Bill and other rural development legislation, conferences, workshops, and marketing efforts promoting sustainable agriculture; as well as administration of, and research proposals submitted to, the regional SARE grant program, part of a national program funded by the USDA National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
The NATIONAL SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATIONS series documents Sligh's work with the National Campaign for Sustainable Agriculture (NCSA), the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC), the National Sustainable Agriculture Coordinating Council (NSACC), and the National Dialogue for Sustainable Agriculture, including legislative and committee work, meetings, conferences, and campaigns around specific topics such as genetic engineering, organic standards, and competition and concentration in agriculture.
The NATIONAL ORGANIC PROGRAM (NOP) and NATIONAL ORGANIC STANDARDS BOARD (NOSB) series documents Sligh's role as founding chairman of the NOSB and the establishment of the National Organic Program (NOP), and includes comments on the proposed organic rule, comments from individuals and constituency organizations, standards for organic certification in individual states and other countries prior to the establishment of a U.S. national organic standard, and committees overseeing the development of various aspects of the organic standards.
The RURAL ADVANCEMENT FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL (RAFI) series primarily documents the RAFI-USA organization, but includes some files from the Canadian office, later renamed the ETC Group (Action Group on Erosion, Technology, and Concentration), and materials from an earlier iteration of RAFI-USA: the Rural Advancement Fund of the National Sharecroppers Fund. This series includes major projects on which Sligh worked such as Greener Fields (eco-labels), contract agriculture reform, farm legislation, pesticide reduction, peanuts, tobacco, and Seeds and Breeds (public plant and animal breeding).
The OTHER ORGANIZATIONAL FILES-ORGANIC AGRICULTURE series includes organic organizations with which Sligh worked including the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), International Organic Accreditation Service (IOAS), and the National Organic Coalition (NOC). Sligh was a founder of the latter, an umbrella group with many member organizations that advocated for organic integrity on the national level. Included are materials on campaigns, correspondence on strategy, fly-in events, meetings with USDA officials, and testimony.
The AGRICULTURAL JUSTICE AND FAIR TRADE series documents the Agricultural Justice Project (AJP) and the Domestic Fair Trade Association (DFTA), both of which Sligh was involved in founding. Also included are materials related to the AJP's Food Justice Certified label, standards development, and training materials.
The BIOTECHNOLOGY series includes Sligh's committee work in this area, a chapter on organics he wrote for the book Fatal Harvest (edited by Andrew Kimbrell), work on legislation and lawsuits, liability and coexistence concerns, strategy meetings, and testimony.
The INTERNATIONAL ISSUES, WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION (WTO), and GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TARIFFS AND TRADE (GATT) series documents work relating to agriculture and trade agreements, and the positions of agriculture organizations regarding these negotiations.
The CODEX, FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO), and UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT (UNCED) series documents Sligh's work serving as a U.S. NGO delegate to the United Nations FAO/WHO (World Health Organization) Food Labeling Commission for the development of international organic guidelines, and his involvement in both the 1992 Earth Summit (UNCED) and the 1996 World Food Summit.
The SUBJECT FILES series includes topical, project, and conference files; materials related to the National Organic Action Plan (NOAP), for which Sligh served as the National Coordinator; North Carolina specific projects such as a breeding project with North Carolina State University (NCSU); and his service on the Board of Directors of a local food cooperative.
The WRITINGS series includes Sligh's articles, publications, speeches and other presentations, and teaching materials, as well as related correspondence and drafts of unpublished work.
PHOTOGRAPHS include black-and-white prints (17 5x7-inch and 3 8x10-inch) by Robert Amberg, photographer for the Rural Advancement Fund, 1986-1994; promotional black-and-white photo for an Organic Harvest project of the Organic Foods Production Association (OFPANA) and the Committee for Sustainable Agriculture (CSA); two color snapshots of World Food Day, 1993 and 1994; and unidentified color snapshots from gatherings and conferences.
AUDIO RECORDINGS include Sligh's sessions for the 1993, 2000, and 2006 Ecological Farming Conferences, and an Organic Trade Association (OTA) conference call regarding the 2005 Arthur Harvey case, which challenged the National Organic Program and its alleged violation of the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA).
The VIDEORECORDINGS cover the 1989 Capitol Hill negotiations on the OFPA and a Senate hearing chaired by Senator Thomas Daschle on Research, Education and Extension.
Note: Researchers should note that many publications were separated during processing to the Organic and Sustainable Agriculture Publications collection (see Part 21: M2018-071 for publications separated from the Sligh papers).
