On Thursday, a group of the country's 11 largest environmental and conservation organizations, including the David Suzuki Foundation and the Sierra Club Canada, also released a report on climate change which identified support for organic farming as an environmental priority.
One barrier to continued growth of the organic sector has been a lack of coordinated support for transitioning into organic farming. Last year, OTA launched HowToGoOrganic(tm).com, to help North American farmers and processors find information on transitioning to organic production.
OTA is the membership-based business association for the organic industry in North America, with offices in the U.S. and Canada. OTA's mission is to promote and protect the growth of organic trade to benefit the environment, farmers, the public, and the economy. OTA's vision is that organic products are a significant part of everyday life, enhancing people's lives and the global environment.
