2002 Organic World Congress The
IFOAM 2002 Organic World Congress "Cultivating Communities" 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
