Did you know that the term “organic” is a prot Did you know that the term “organic” is a protected label in British Columbia? Consumers need to know that the products they’re purchasing are truly organic—that they’ve been grown or made according to rigorous organic standards. Uncertified operators whose products carry the organic label could face penalties, including fines. Some examples of misuse of the organic label by an uncertified operator include: 🍎 Using the word “organic” in marketing materials 🍎 Using the BCCOP logo and/or the Canada Organic logo BC’s organic regulations are monitored and enforced on a complaint basis, so it’s up to you to help ensure the integrity of the organic label! If you’ve discovered a person or company who is falsely marketing their products as organic in British Columbia, get in touch with AgriService BC. They have a team of folks responsible for enforcing the regulations in various regions in the province. Learn more about the process at organicbc.org/false-labelling, or visit the link in our bio! #thisisorganicbc #certifiedorganic #bcorganic #organic

The latest episode of the Organic BC Podcast featu The latest episode of the Organic BC Podcast features two compelling arguments for the use of cover crops in field crop or vegetable production. In the first segment, we’ll learn about a Fraser Valley Dairy Farmer’s experience with planting a relay cover crop once his silage corn is established, and the benefits he’s realized from that effort. After that, an Agriculture & Agri-food Canada researcher will tell us why it's so very important, if not imperative, that BC’s field crop and veggie farmers start including cover cropping in their weed management plans. Stream now at the link in our bio or listen to the full Organic BC podcast at organicbc.org/podcast!
