"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.

International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM).
The main events are the 14th Organic World Congress, the 4th IFOAM
