THE CANADIAN ORGANIC STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS The Canadian organic sector is regulated by the Organic Products Regulations (OPR). The OPR empowers the Canadian Organic Standards (COS), which came in to effect on June 20, 2009 and define specific requirements for food, feed and seed products labelled as organic. The Standards apply to any agricultural product if it: FOUR PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURE What do you say when someone asks you what Organic means? Or what have you heard? I’ll bet you’ve said or heard phrases like “no synthetic pesticides,” “increased animal welfare,” or “no GMOs.” While these responses aren’t wrong, they don’t adequately describe the “spirit” of what organic means.

JONATHAN BRUDERLEIN
Consultant en affaires Jonathan Bruderlain s’est joint à l’équipe CBEO en 2020. Il comprend ce que c’est que de vivre de l’agriculture après avoir exploité avec succès une ferme maraîchère certifiée biologique Dunham, au Québec, en utilisant un mélange de puissance de tracteur et de puissance de traction. En 2017, Jonathan et sa famille ont décidé de prendre un congé sabbatique, de convertir leur fourgon de livraison en auto apte de faire du camping et de voyager à travers les États-Unis et du Canada pendant près de 3 ans – visitant des fermes, apprenant et obtenant une nouvelle perspective sur la vie. C’est durant ce voyage que Jonathan a découvert la pratique du coaching de vie. Il a découvert à quel point ce serait une approche puissante de combiner des techniques de coaching de vie avec des conseils aux entreprises agricoles et des services agronomiques. Maintenant, Jonathan travaille avec les agriculteurs et les entrepreneurs pour les aider à sortir des sentiers battus, réussir dans tous les domaines de leur vie et à mettre pleinement en œuvre les choses qu’ils savent devoir faire.

JONATHAN BRUDERLEIN
Business Consultant
Having owned and operated a successful certified organic vegetable farm in Dunham, Quebec using a mix of tractor power and draft horsepower, Jonathan knows first hand what it’s like to make a living from farming. In 2017, Jonathan and his family decided to take a sabbatical, convert their delivery van into a camper, and travel around the USA and Canada for almost 3 years, visiting farms, learning, and getting a new perspective on life! Jonathan is now back in Quebec and in the process of launching the second iteration of thefarm.
It’s during these travels that Jonathan discovered the practice of life-coaching. He immediately realized what a powerful approach it would be to combine life-coaching techniques with farm business consulting and agronomic services. Jonathan works with farmers and entrepreneurs to support them to think outside the box, create success in all areas of their lives, and fully implement the things they know they need to be doing (even in the height of summer!!!) Since the separation of work and personal life is really an illusion, Jonathan and his clients delve into any topics that are useful: From sales and marketing, to communication with your spouse, to employee management, to spending time with your kids, to business systems, to soil and fertility management, to cropping systems… and everything in between. Jonathan has a B.Sc. in Agronomy from McGill University, ACC coaching accreditation from the International Coaching Federation, and a Masters in Business Management from the School of Hard Knocks (aka thefarm).
