Participating Alternative Nobel Prize laureates were Vandana Shiva (India), Percy & Louise Schmeiser (Canada), Ibrahim & Helmy Abouleish (SEKEM, Egypt), Frances Moore Lappé (USA), Taeko Ogiwara & Ikuko Sasaki (Seikatsu Club Consumers Cooperative Union, Japan), Melaku Worede (Ethiopia), Maria Salete Campigotto (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais sem Terra, Brazil), Pat Mooney (Canada), as well as World Food Prize laureate Hans Herren (Switzerland).
A major highlight of the conference was the publication of the ‚IFOAM Declaration for Living Change’, a declaration, supported by laureates and participants, that summarizes the elements of their shared convictions and that serves as an appeal to embrace change. You too can support the IFOAM Declaration for Living Change. Download the Declaration in English here, in German here and in French here.
