Organic Perspectives: Fruit and Vegetable Magazine

This is the first issue of Fruit and Veg magazine that features the Organic Perspectives column. The Organic Council of Ontario (OCO) has partnered with the editorial team at F&V magazine, and throughout 2020, OCO will be coordinating a number of different organic fruit and vegetable experts to contribute to this column. 

“Roughly two-thirds of Canadians are purchasing organic products weekly, and there is growing demand for local organic fruits and vegetables,” says Carolyn Young, OCO executive director. “The Organic Council of Ontario represents organic producers and businesses in Ontario and is excited to partner with F&V to bring you the latest innovations in organic produce. This column will feature organic producers, marketers and experts from across Ontario and Canada to speak to each edition’s theme.” 

In the inaugural column, Emma Geldart, communications officer with the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada provides insight into the current research being conducted through the Organic Science Cluster program.

If you are interested in writing for the Organic Perspectives column, we are looking for producers, marketers and other experts who are interested in sharing their innovations in organic horticulture. Please contact communications@organiccouncil.ca for more information!
