The Organic Shelf Series: Supply Chain Reality (Where Things Break)

Monday, June 22 | 12:00–1:00 PM | Zoom Join us for a candid conversation exploring the realities of the organic supply chain — where systems run smoothly, where challenges arise, and what it takes to keep organic products moving from farm to shelf. This virtual session is a space to connect with others across the sector, share experiences, and discuss the pressures, opportunities, and solutions shaping today’s organic marketplace. This Month’s Topic is: Supply Chain Reality — Where Things Break From sourcing and transportation to processing, certification, retail logistics, and consumer demand, this discussion will take a behind-the-scenes look at the weak points and resilience strategies within the organic supply chain. Whether you’re a farmer, processor, distributor, retailer, or simply interested in how organic products reach consumers, come ready to exchange ideas, ask questions, and learn from others working across the sector. No presentations, no pressure — just good conversation. Bring your coffee and join us! We’ll be joined by Angela Donnelly (Co-Owner of Raise the Root Market, Toronto, ON) and Rebecca Kerrivan (Resident CNP of Jo-Anne's Place, Peterborough, ON). The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Erica Shelley, who will help guide a lively exchange on all things organic! https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87544815743 Free to attend. Registration required.
