National Organic Agriculture Movements in Africa
In several African countries, Organic Agriculture has reached a significant development and the national organic sector has in many cases organized itself into a national Organic Agriculture network/movement. These umbrella organizations or movements represent the organic sector at the national and international level, link the stakeholders and make efforts to promote and get recognition for Organic Agriculture among farmers groups, NGOs, governments and intergovernmental organizations, and development organizations.  The following national Organic Agriculture movements have been established:
  • The Ethiopian Association of Organic Agriculture (EAOA)
