The Ontario Agriculture Sustainability Coalition (OASC) is comprised of the Beef Farmers of Ontario, Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association, Grain Farmers of Ontario, Ontario Pork, Ontario Sheep Farmers, and the Veal Farmers of Ontario. The coalition was formed in 2009 to develop and implement the Risk Management Program (RMP) in Ontario at the request of the Government of Ontario.
OASC has since conducted a study to better determine the value of the program. The purpose of the study was to determine the economic impact that RMP and the Self Directed Risk Management Program (SDRM) has on individual operations,
on farm production in Ontario and the consequent impacts of the program on the broader economy.
