Event Description:
Environmental Sustainability in the Agri-Food Sector: Exploring Solutions to Meet Increasing Global Market Demand
Are you curious to learn more about what it takes to produce food sustainably? Have you heard about Regenerative Organic Agriculture and Fair for Life practices, but are not sure how these might help you as a farmer or food processor? Or perhaps you'd like to learn how organic and sustainable production methods could open doors to new export markets?
Join ECOCERT Canada as we explore a variety of options for sustainability conversion and help you understand what it takes to tap into the growing demand for sustainably sourced food.
With the global demand for organic products continuing to increase year-after-year, consumers in both local and international markets are seeking greater transparency across supply chains, and demanding better accountability in the production of their food source. As a Canadian and global leader in environmental sustainability for over 25 years, ECOCERT has helped countless Canadian operators find suitable solutions for developing good environmental and societal practices to grow their businesses.
