Agriculture plays a large role in North America, its primary crops include grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and plants for non-food uses. In terms of farmland, 3.3 million hectares are managed organically, a figure that has trebled since 2000 and represents about five percent of global organic agricultural land. 

In 2016, members from Canada, the United States, and the English-speaking Caribbean established IFOAM North America. They are working towards food systems that have shorter and more direct supply chains, where the knowledge and wisdom of farmers guide innovations that are adapted to local conditions, and making food production both socially as well as environmentally sustainable.
