About the Organisers
The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) was
founded in 1945 with a mandate to raise levels of nutrition and
standards of living, to improve agricultural productivity, and to
better the conditions of rural populations.
The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM)
is the worldwide umbrella organisation for the organic movement. Its
goal is the worldwide adoption of ecologically, socially and
economically sound systems that are based on the principles of Organic
Agriculture.
The International Seed Federation (ISF) is a non-profit organisation
representing the main stream of the world seed trade and plant breeders
community, and serves as an international forum where issues of
interest to the world seed industry are discussed.
