The funding, under the national Agriculture and Agri - Food Canada's Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Food (ACAAF) program, includes $711,500 to help the industry's major research arm at the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada in Truro, Nova Scotia, to better identify research needs and to more effectively communicate research results back to the sector. An additional $565,900 will be used to develop a national sector organization, the Organic Federation of Canada, to bring together all players in the industry and raise awareness of the sector and to help with regulato- ry development. "We're thrilled with these announcements," said Dr. Andrew Hammermeister, manager of the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada. "The organic sector has entered a time of unprece- dented consumer interest and co-operation among stakeholders around the world. These funds will help us facilitate research and education for producers and con- sumers across Canada." The ACAAF program is designed to help implement innovative projects that will benefit the production and processing sector, bolster the industry's capacity to address current and emerging issues and position the agriculture and agri-food industry to seize new market opportunities.
