New draft Positions on Seed and Smallholders open for comments.

At the last IFOAM General Assembly motions instructing the IFOAM World Board to develop position papers on the primordial role of smallholders and family farmers in the context of food sovereignty and on the use of organic seed and propagation materials in organic agriculture were adopted.

The first draft of the IFOAM Position on Smallholders (available in both English and Spanish) and the second draft IFOAM Position on Seeds are now available for comment and can be downloaded from the links on the right. 

Please submit your comments by email to the IFOAM head office at: organic@ifoam.org

The deadline for feedback for both papers is September 22, 2010.
