The Organic World Congress (OWC) is taking place September 8-10, 2021 in Rennes, France. 

The organic sector assembles to host the Organic World Congress (OWC), the world’s largest organic gathering, every three years. Drawing from the motto, ‘From its Roots, Organic Inspires Life‘, this conference will address questions around resilience, societal transformation, ecosystem regeneration, health and food sovereignty are more. 

OWC 2021 will aim to provide organic and likeminded stakeholders working toward sustainable agriculture, value chains, and consumption with an opportunity to exchange their knowledge, innovations, and experiences. The congress offers momentum and inspiration to all who take part and is seen as a leading event for the global organic sector.

The Canada Organic Trade Association is hosting an information session to inform Canadian stakeholders on changes to the US Canada Organic Equivalency arrangement related to multi-ingredient products produced in countries outside of the USA or Canada (referred to as "third country"). The changes have already been implemented by the National Organic Program (NOP) and this session is to inform Canadians of possible ramifications and changes to the Canada Organic Regime's stance on third country multi-ingredient products being included in the US Canada Organic Equivalency. A Survey Monkey consultation will follow to capture all Canadian feedback in a written format that will be summarized and presented back to CFIA on this matter. 

Please attend this important webinar as there may be significant implications to your supply chain.

The largest celebration of organic food, farming, and products across the country will take place September 13-19, 2021!

Learn more about how to export your organic product to China! There is currently no organic equivalency in place, so this is an excellent opportunity to learn about the trade requirements. The Embassy of Canada's Trade Commission in China will be teaming up with the Canada Organic Trade Association to offer a detailed overview of what you need to know about selling your products to China.
