Organic Agriculture and Women’s Empowerment It is IFOAM’s goal to facilitate equal participation of women in the Organic Agriculture movement. In this context, a new IFOAM study investigates the ways in which OA can contribute to the empowerment of rural women, and identifies “lessons learned” for future work on the basis of a collection of analytical case studies from around the world.
Building Sustainable Organic Sectors The objective of this study as formulated by IFOAM is to give guidance for the development of dynamic organic sectors, with a focus on developing countries. The report includes ten country case studies of which five are from developing economies, two from emerging economies or economies in transition, and three are from more developed economies. Based on the case studies and other experience, recommendations are made.
