Your Food, Your Choice-Value of Organic

Event Details

  • COG Toronto's 6th annual organic conference, Your Food, Your Choice: The Value of Organic, is on February 18, and it is fast approaching. You can register for the early bird rate of $65 (COG members $55) until February 10. After that, it goes up to $85 (COG members $65).

    Don't miss out on another informative and inspirational conference. Our keynote is Kristin Kimball, author of The Dirty Life, who gave up the fast life of New York City to become an organic farmer. Speaking at the conference is Guy Dauncey, co-author of Cancer: 101 Solutions to a Preventable Epidemic, to talk about the role of organic in the solution to cancer. We also have Bena Burda of Maggie's Organics speaking about organic clothing and the organic cotton producers in Central America. We're going to be talking about fish - can it be raised organically? Will we be eating genetically modified fish soon? There will also be panels for gardeners and would-be farmers. Something for everyone, including a delicious organic lunch.

    If you want to make an evening of it, there is also an opportunity to purchase a ticket, at a reduced price, to the preview of a new play, Seeds, at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts, about the legal battle between Saskatchewan farmer, Percy Schmeiser, and Monsanto. It stars Eric Peterson as Percy.
