RESEARCH AND EDUCATION IN ORGANIC AGRICULTURE
Your financial support directly supports OACC work and affirms your recognition of the value of OACC research and education. This tangible signal strengthens our hand considerably when we approach government funding agencies. They need to see that individuals and businesses are willing to endorse OACC in this practical and measurable manner.

WHY YOUR CONTRIBUTION IS IMPORTANT
Global food systems are in flux and under rising pressures. A realistic understanding of the influences on our food is vital to our sense of wellbeing, our safety and our support of a sustainable environment. Organic methods serve organic practitioners and others who want to adapt to shifting conditions of climate, energy supplies, biodiversity and pollution.

OACC performs research and education at the university level in organic agriculture. Our unique responsibility is to link scientists and practitioners while verifying claims and providing solutions to many agricultural issues affecting Canadians. Your contribution makes it possible for us to meet and exceed expectations.

OUR WORK
Our vision is to strengthen the science and practice of organic agriculture. This has led us to research greenhouse gases in agriculture, sustainability in farming – environmental and economic, new organic markets and innovative ways to foil pests in crops. We explore biological ways to measure soil health. We link knowledge between researchers, farmers, business people, students and consumers. We’re very passionate about our important work!

Thank-you for your support!
