Abstract:
|
Utilizing a multiple account benefit-cost framework, this paper will identify and
examine three different types of certifications in Ontario: market-driven, regulatory and
voluntary. These three types of certification will provide the basis for the analysis of the
distribution of benefits and costs in certification programs in the following three case
studies: Local Food Plus, Canadian Quality Milk and the Canada- Ontario
Environmental Farm Plan. From farmer to fork, the benefits and costs of certifications
will be analyzed and best practices from these case studies will be identified. Indicators
for success in certifications and recommendations for application in Ontario will be
explored. |
