Food Miles Campaign

Buying local organic supports our Saskatchewan Organic Farmers and reduces food miles that contribute to climate change. SOD's Food Miles Campaign is working to increase access to Saskatchewan Organic Food.

We recently completed the study Assessing Saskatoon's Local Organic Production and Potential Institutional Market - March 2009 (pdf 1.3MB) by Jennifer Bromm (SOD) and Cameron McRae (CHEP) as part of our effort to strengthen regional economies and create local jobs, minimize our carbon footprint and reduce reliance on oil-based farm chemicals, and encourage both sustainable consumerism and organic agricultual practices.

Use the Eat Well Guide to find organic food near you. If you know of a source that is not yet listed on the Guide, feel free to suggest a listing.

Organic Training Needs Assessment

Saskatchewan Learning sponsored a training needs assessment study for the Saskatchewan organic sector in 2006. The results of the study are available here.
