What do you want the organic sector's research to be focused on over the next five years? The Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada and the Organic Federation of Canada want to hear your opinion in a discussion of the research priorities for the next national Organic Science Cluster Program, which will run from April 2023 to March 2028.
This research will have a major impact on shaping the growth of sustainable agriculture in Canada since its goal will be to address the specific challenges of organic production. The best way to reach this goal is by ensuring the priorities accurately reflect the interests and concerns of the organic farming community.
At the Organic Council of Ontario, we serve as the voice of organic growers across Ontario and we want to represent your interests. If you are unable to attend a session that you'd like to contribute to, please send your priories to Carolyn at carolyn@organiccouncil.ca and we will make sure they are represented.
Three Priorities Have Already Been Chosen For The Next Cluster:
1. Climate Change & Environment,
2. Economic Growth, and
3. Resilience
1.5 hour open meetings will be held to discuss the research priorities. Please register for the meetings in advance if you wish to receive updates and documents to prepare for the meeting. You can also visit the OSC4 website for updates and more details.

Tell Us About Your Farming Practices
We want to better support current Ontario's farming practices and knowledge. To achieve this, we are currently conducting a survey on agricultural practices and the environment and we want to hear from you. The survey is intended to support a better understanding of farmer practices and perceptions in the context of climate change. You can fill out the survey and be entered to win one of three prizes.
