Ontario's organic market is not meeting consumer demand. Imports are increasing, but local supply is not. The Organic Council of Ontario (OCO) wants to find out why. In order to do that, they are seeking input from food producers and processors across the province.
They've published a
survey for farmers and food businesses that aims to assess current interest and participation in organic production throughout the agri-food sector. The survey is part of a research project by Carolyn Young, which seeks to identify the barriers to growth in the organic sector.
