2008 Farmer Survey Results- Ontario Research Needs Summary

In the winter and spring of 2008, the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada (OACC) conducted a research needs survey of organic producers across Canada. This document is a summary of the results of all Ontario respondents of the research needs survey. Readers are encouraged to review the national survey summary for a more detailed analysis of results from the whole country.

In Ontario, over 832 surveys were distributed to organic producers, including uncertified producers who defined themselves as using ecological or organic methods, with a response rate of 17.7%. The top research needs in this survey will be used to inform a prioritization process for research projects in the various producer sectors.
