Canadian Organic Growers - The National Information Network for Organic Farmers, Gardeners and Consumers
edit Description
Canadian Organic Growers (COG) is a national charitable organization (13014 0494 RR0001) with members in all regions of Canada. COG is connected to the regions through fifteen local Chapters and to the international organic community through membership in the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements.
COG’s membership is diverse and includes farmers, gardeners, processors, retailers and consumers. Not all COG members run certified organic operations, but they share a vision for a sustainable bioregionally-based organic food system. Members believe that organic food production is the best choice for the health of consumers and producers, for the protection and enhancement of the environment, and for the sustainability of the food production system. In fact we believe that the survival of our country and even the planet depends on it.
Co-operation with other organizations and government to achieve regulatory change, such as the Consumer and Corporate Affairs "Definition of Organic Food" and the Agriculture Canada "National Standards for Organic Food Production."
