- Funding has also been provided through the Organic Sector Development Program (OSDP), a $900,000 fund for the development of the BC organic sector. Funding for the OSDP comes from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program (CAAP), which is delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation in British Columbia.
- Consumer Research1555 Canadian residents age 25 and overBalanced and weighted on region, age and gender according to 2006 censusBritish Columbians are more likely to read labels on new products than Canadians overall; Two-thirds are willing to pay more for food that they knew is good for themselves and their family.British Columbians, overall, showed themselves to be more confident about the impact of their food choices on their health and the environment. While 41% of Canadians felt confused by changing definitions of “healthy” food, only 32% of British Columbians shared this sentiment. Similarly, 38% nationally reported it was hard to know what is good for the environment while only 31% of British Columbians agreed with this statement.
- Because this research is 25+ it misses one of the segments identified in US research as a key demographic for organic purchases. The average age of the organic consumer has increased since 2006 when the majority of organic buyers had young families. The strong 45-54 segment in 2012 indicates these buyers have continued to choose organic products as their families mature.
- When looking at the level of influence of and trust in claims that accompany food products BC consumers present some distinctive differences from Canadians overall. The level of influence of claims such as ‘made in Canada’, ‘local’, ‘certified organic’, and ‘non GMO’ are higher in BC; the influence of ‘natural’ or ‘all natural’ claims is lower. This, again, points to a more educated and savvy audience for organic products in BC. The level of influence of products certified organic by the Canadian organic program was nearly double the influence of a USDA organic certification. The level of trust in claims follow a similar pattern as the level of influence with ‘Made in Canada’, ‘local’, ‘free range’, and ‘Canada organic certified’ taking the top four slots of the most trusted claims. British Columbians have a slightly lower level of trust in ‘Made in Canada’ claims than the national average (87% vs. 89%) and a slightly higher level of trust in ‘Canada organic certified’ (81% vs. 78%) and ‘non GMO’ (67% vs. 62%). Natural claims have the lowest level of trust in BC, with only 51% of British Columbians reporting that they trust this claim in contrast to 58% of Canadians.
