Organic Farming on the Rise in Canada

    

     According to a recent Canadian census report, organic farming is bigger than ever, says the Toronto Star.   Statistics Canada says the number of certified organic producers in the country has risen nearly 60 percent since 2001.  While this is a huge growth in the industry, and represents a huge boost to small, local producers – there’s still lots of room to grow.  A spokesperson for the Canadian Organic Growers association is quoted as saying that “the No. 1 issue right now in the organic industry is there are not enough domestic suppliers.”   Click HERE! if you want to read the official Statistics Canada report.
