The 16th IFOAM Organic World Congress will be held from June 18.-20. 2008 in Modena, Italy.
The
Organic World Congress will be based on the IFOAM Principles of Organic
Agriculture: Health, Fairness, Ecology and Care. Also founded on these
basic principles, other focal points will be:
- Regional Values and Indigenous Knowledge, is where we derive experience and inspiration
- Innovation – in all fields – is how we best launch into the future
- Cooperation between
different parties, such as producers and consumers, government and
private sectors, scientists and practitioners, south and north,
communities, regions and countries.
The OWC will offer platforms and to build bridges between different cultures, regions, in time and space, with the help of leading personalities from Sciences and the Arts who will guide and inspire our sessions, using as varied and creative tools as possible. Conferences, workshops, seminars, round
tables, forums, active and living poster sessions: many parallel events following different threads, but seamlessly weaved together.
