IFOAM 2002 Organic World Congress

"Cultivating Communities" August 21-28, 2002, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Welcome to the IFOAM 2002 Organic World Congress "Cultivating Communities". The Organic World Congress will bring together representatives of the organic movement from around the world. It is open to everyone interested in organic agriculture and sustainable development - farmers, researchers, advisors, food processors, traders, certifiers, policy makers and consumers. Over 1000 delegates are expected to attend.

"Cultivating Communities" was chosen as the motto for the Congress to highlight the role of organic agriculture in sustaining healthy, vibrant communities whether they be communities of micro-organisms in the soil, communities of beneficial insects in the orchard or rural and urban communities anywhere in the world.

Canadian Organic Growers is organizing the 2002 Organic World Congress on behalf of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). The main events are the 14th Organic World Congress, the 4th IFOAM Organic World Exhibition, the 7th International Congress on Viticulture and Wine, and the IFOAM General Assembly.
