Your weekly OWC2021 news
At the heart of the global organic movement are farmers, advocates, producers, researchers, scientists, policymakers, organisations and brands with strong objectives and a common vision: to prepare a more sustainable and fairer world for all ecosystems.
Thanks to their precious support, the Organic World Congress 2021 promises to be rich in experience and encounters. The organic movement is coming together to exchange, share and grow together to face the challenges of tomorrow. Thank you to our sponsors and official partners!
Two days before the Congress, the pre-conferences offer time for exchange with a small group of experts and professionals, bringing together specialists from all over the world and contributing to networking between these players. The proposed themes will be discussed in-depth, with the aim of working on joint reflection and action.
#1: 30 Years of PGS Development: A Root and Branch Appraisal
#3: Policies Driving Sustainable Food Systems
#4: Organic Animal Husbandry Systems – Ways to Improvement
#5: Seed Ambassadors: Building an International Network to Advance Organic Seed Systems
