In
many parts of the world organic production is the fastest growing sector
of the fruit industry. Coupled with this accelerated interest in organic
production at the producer level is an increasing interest within the
scientific community. The need to develop and test a wide array of new
technologies which comply with local organic production standards is obvious.
This symposium facilitated the exchange of information on the suitability
of new and novel technologies for individual models and production regions.
The Symposium was organized under the auspices of the Organic Agriculture
Centre of Canada (OACC) and the International Society for Horticultural
Science (ISHS), in collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-food Canada
(AAFC), Atlantic Canadian Organic Regional Network (ACORN) and the Nova
Scotia Fruit Growers Association (NSFGA). Refereed papers will be published
in an issue of Acta Horticulturae.
