Organic Products Survey

Question

A power-point presentation on organic food from an Agri-Food Canada, AC Neilson survey is circulating around Macdonald College, and we are being asked if the data is "available".

As it was not done through Statistics Canada, am I right to assume that it is highly unlikely to be made available for academic research?

The title in the presentation says: Organic Products Study 2004/2004

Answer

AC Neilson surveys are definitely not part of the Stats Can collection, but we do have a few things that could help your patron in terms of organic production in Canada:

1) From the 2001 Census of Agriculture, Farms classified by certified organic products produced
(http://www.statcan.ca/english/freepub/95F0301XIE/tables/html/Table12Can.htm)

2) Vista on Agriculture Study: Organic fruit and vegetable production 2000 to 2003
(http://www.statcan.ca/bsolc/english/bsolc?catno=21-004-XIE)

3) A few other ad-hoc reports on the topic by performing a keyword search for "organic" on the STC web site.

  2. Having read this I thought it was rather informative. I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this article together. I once again find myself spending way too much time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!
