Welcome to FC2015
Flax Canada 2015 Phase II (FC2015) is a unique initiative established to
identify and utilize value-added opportunities for flax.
FC2015 Inc. aims to enhance the value of flax by making it an important
component in the preventative approach to human and animal health. In addition,
FC2015 Inc. will support the value-added sector with a strategy for total
utilization of flax for food, feed, fibre, health, and industrial uses –
truly flax for all reasons!

of the Canadian bio-economy.
