Overview: This paper summarizes the history of the process for developing an organic standard in Canada, provides information on the development of regulations in other countries, summarizes the standard development process and outlines the procedure for how a certification body gets accredited under the National Organic standard. Organic food is one of the fastest growing segments of the international food market. Both production and consumption around the world have been expanding rapidly. There are currently no regulations in Canada on the productions and sale of organic food, or a nationally recognized and widely used organic standard.
