For International Women’s Day, we asked some of the incredible leaders, farmers, and sustainability advocates in the organic community to share a message that matters to them.

The latest data on organic farming worldwide will be presented by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL and IFOAM – Organics International together with BIOFACH, the world’s leading trade fair for organic food. The statistics yearbook “The World of Organic Agriculture” will be launched on Tuesday, 15 February 2022, from 12 to 1 pm (CET).

We are celebrating our 50 years anniversary by launching the Year of Organics toolkit to raise awareness on organic and its benefits in our food systems. The kit is now available for download!

IFOAM - Organics International was proud to be part of the activities of the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV) 2021!  The activities organized were a great opportunity to talk about how organic can be part of the solution to protect our planet, our farmers, their families and their livelihood.

Check out our collective achievements at the regional level!

The decision to postpone the trade fair pairing and the accompanying BIOFACH Congress this year was taken on a one-off basis in close consultation with the exhibitors.  

The OT4D project is opening an online helpline for local certification bodies as well as local consultants, who are involved in topics related to quality and label standards. The OT4D project supports the development of the organic sectors in Albania, Serbia and Ukraine.

We will join the Food Nation’s Global Food Talk and discuss with leading high-level profiles from the Danish agriculture and food scene about how to reach the high ambitions on increasing the organic agricultural land. Our World Board Member, Paul Holmbeck will represent our organisation in this event.

The worldwide Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS) community convened on September 6-7, 2021. Read our thoughts on how PGS have evolved since the last time the PGS community gathered. 

The new PGS Committee will advise the organisation on the development of norms, references and tools related to guarantee systems.
