Census Canada Study: Organic from niche to mainstream

Consumers by now are used to seeing a range of organic fruits and vegetables for sale in their local grocery store, but the most common certified organic product reported by Canadian farmers is probably not what they think.

In fact, the most commonly reported certified organic class consists of field crops and hay, according to a new study published in the online version of Canadian Agriculture at a Glance. The study analyzed the evolution in the organic farming sector in Canada between 2001 and 2006. http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/080328/d080328a.htm
