Strengthening Canadian Organic Supply Chains
COG's Barriers and Solutions in Canada's Organic Food Supply Chain (previously called Canadian Access Project/CAP) was a research program that examined six organic supply chains across Canada from 2019-2022. The report has identified the systemic, cultural and sectoral supply chain barriers preventing the increased domestic supply of organic products from reaching the market efficiently and achieving the related environmental benefits of organic practices. COG ranked each barrier by six organic commodity or product supply chains. Barriers and Solutions in Canada's Organic Food Supply Chain has examined the market impact of each and identifies leaders (e.g. industry, government, industry and government partnerships, etc.) best qualified to implement measures to mitigate or eliminate each barrier.
