A memorandum of understanding for an organic agriculture platform was signed in June 2008 by thirty organizations, from the research and education communities, from the municipal, environmental and bio-food sectors, as well as growers’ associations and agri-environmental advisory clubs. This agreement, which has a five-year term and is renewable, aims to provide a formal framework for partner collaboration on implementation of the concept and activities of this platform. The memorandum of understanding outlines the platform mission and objectives as well as the agreement guidelines and management arrangements. The Institut de recherche et de développement en agroenvironnement (IRDA - Research and Development Institute for the Agri-Environment) manages the platform site, which is located in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville.

 

The mission of the organic agriculture platform is to provide an infrastructure and a site that is managed following organic agriculture reference standards so that research, development, transfer, training and public awareness activities associated with organic crop production can be carried out.
