By the end of 2025, Canada will have a revised standard that reflects both the latest research and the current needs and interests of organic producers, consumers, processors, distributors and other stakeholders.
The Canadian Organic Standards (COS) are attracting a great deal of interest: more than 250 requests for changes were submitted following the launch of the review process in July 2023.
The first step in the COS review project will be to reconstitute the Technical Committee on Organic Agriculture (TC), the voting members who will ultimately decide on the content of the updated COS in 2025.
The OFC and the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada are pleased to present a series of Producer Bulletins, technical reports presenting the results of the research of the Organic Science Clusters.
The review of the Canadian Organic Standards provides a valuable opportunity for clarifying the ecological practices and the use of permitted substances defined in the COS, and adding new practices or substances to modernize Canadian organic food production and processing.
