Saskatchewan Organic Directorate
Food for Life
By Brenda Frick
Buyers of organic grains are approaching the new marketing year with guarded optimism. They see product beginning to move, and prices fairly stable, perhaps even creeping slowly upward.
This is good news to organic producers who have been discouraged by stalled markets in the last couple of years. Predicting organic prices is a bit like forecasting the weather.
Dining with the Stars began as an awareness campaign undertaken by the Food Miles Committee of the Saskatchewan Organic Directorate (SOD).
The Saskatchewan Organic Directorate (SOD) and Organic Alberta launched the Saskatchewan - Alberta Organic Producers’ Directory in September 2009.
The objective of the directory is to increase market access for organic growers by enabling buyers to search for organic products by town, region, product, or the producer/farm name.
SOD's main web site is a valuable resource for SOD's members, organic farmers, and anyone interested in organic agriculture in Saskatchewan.
The SOD Organic Agriculture Protection Fund Committee works to stop GMOs from contaminating organic crops, fields and foods in Canada.
SOD's Food Miles Campaign is working to increase access to Saskatchewan Organic Food and to provide information for consumers and educators.
The Saskatchewan and Alberta Organic Producers Directory is a tool that provides consumers, grocers and wholesalers access to organic commodities.
