Federal government puts forward $374,450 for organic resource hub

The Canadian Organic Growers, a charity that looks to support organic farmers, has launched a new resource for farmers.

The Organically Canadian Resource Hub was designed to raise an understanding of the benefits of sustainable agriculture and how consumer choices can make a difference.

COG is receiving up to $374,450 in support for the resource hub through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s AgriCommunication Program. 

That's an $8 million initiative over three years to better connect Canadians with local farmers.

COG feels that their resource center is the answer to some Canadians feeling they lack the information needed to make sustainable choices while grocery shopping.
