Submission: Organic Sector Priorities for Next Policy Framework

Read the organic sector’s priorities for the Next Policy Framework (NPF)!

The NPF presents a critical opportunity to strengthen strategic independence, long-term resilience, competitiveness, and sustainability across the sector. This submission draws on perspectives from farmers, agri-food businesses, and organizations across the agricultural, environment, and food system. The challenges described, and the need for systemic solutions can be applied across the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector.

Top recommendations include:

• Making long-term resilience the central objective for policy and investment
• Recognizing organic agriculture (including aquaculture) and food as a strategic, cross-cutting solution to strengthen sustainability, competitiveness, and sector renewal—with a dedicated development strategy to support growth of organic.
