Federal government puts forward $374,450 for organic resource hub

The Canadian Organic Growers, a charity that looks to support organic farmers, has launched a new resource for farmers.

The Organically Canadian Resource Hub was designed to raise an understanding of the benefits of sustainable agriculture and how consumer choices can make a difference.

COG is receiving up to $374,450 in support for the resource hub through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s AgriCommunication Program.
