Cultivating Growth - Strategic Directions for Growing the Atlantic Canadian Organic Sector
The purpose of this report is to offer general directions and specific actions, to grow the organic industry of Atlantic Canada. The strategic directions, outlined in this report, aim to establish a regional ecosystem of operations, supports, and services with the express purpose of strengthening existing certified organic operations and supporting the growth of new organic businesses. The strategic directions can be viewed as leverage points; if energy, resources, and effort are applied, these directions will have significant impact on overall growth of the regional industry. To ensure the growth and success of the organic sector of Atlantic Canada, the implementation of these strategies should not be the sole responsibility of one government agency, one organization, or a few organic producers, but rather it is the responsibility of a critical mass of organic sector stakeholders.
