The market for sustainable agriculture — including organics and non-GMO — is at a critical point. While some resources are in place to educate consumers, address public policy, and support scientific research on sustainable agricultural crops, far less emphasis has been placed on the market infrastructure upon which participants, from producers to retailers, depend.

The Mercaris data platform provides up-to-date, accurate information on market conditions for organic and non-GMO commodities to help farmers make better production decisions. It also offers a digital trading platform where buyers and sellers can meet and trade physical commodities in the sustainable ag space. Mercaris’ market data, insights and auctions platform are helping to grow organic and non-GMO agriculture in the U.S. and Canada, provide liquidity and price transparency for the industry.
