Abstract: Organic production, or an environmentally friendly form of agriculture, is increasingly developing in the world. Canada is one of the leading countries in the global organic market. The history of its organic agriculture reflects international trends: the formation of organic concepts and methods, their popularization, recognition and development of organic production as a holistic effective system aimed at optimizing productivity and the inclusion of various communities and organisms in the agroecosystem. Thanks to sound government policies, the Canadian organic sector is developing productively and is sustainable in the long term. Nevertheless, it is planned to expand it further both due to a significant increase in domestic production capacities and due to imported products. Unlike Canada, domestic organic agriculture is in the process of formation. Therefore, the Canadian experience can be taken into account when developing a policy for the development of the domestic organic market.
