About Organic BC
Organic BC is growing the organic movement in British Columbia from the ground up. Serving as the unified voice and coordinating body for organic agriculture in British Columbia, Organic BC was formed to focus on advocacy, market development, and education in support of a thriving organic food system. Our grassroots network is working to support coordinated market growth, enhance knowledge, trust, and adoption of certified organic practices, and advocate for favourable public policies and investments. Together with organic producers, processors, consumers, and allied businesses, we’re raising the standards for organic agriculture and transforming agriculture’s impact on the planet.
