Every three years, the Organic World Congress brings together a diverse group of individuals invested in the organic movement—farmers, scientists, industry representatives, certifiers, and policymakers. This event is vital for creating a platform where stakeholders can engage in deep discussions about the pressing challenges facing organic agriculture. Attendees collaborate to identify and strategize solutions that can enhance agricultural practices globally while fostering resilient communities.
Focus on Regenerative Agriculture
At this year’s Congress, regenerative agriculture took center stage. Dynamic discussions led to the development of a pivotal statement on regenerative practices, which was later presented to the IFOAM – Organics International General Assembly. On December 6th, this statement received substantial support from the international membership, highlighting a collective commitment to this emerging focus.
Foundational Framework for Future Discourse
The statement sheds light on various critical topics and viewpoints, recognizing the growing interest in regenerative agriculture among the public, policymakers, and agricultural professionals. It serves as a foundational framework inviting continued discourse on effective strategies to reshape agricultural practices, while also offering valuable insights and actionable recommendations for the path forward.
Collaborative Strategies
By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the Congress helps foster collaboration and innovative thinking in the realm of regenerative and organic agriculture, paving the way for sustainable practices that can benefit both the environment and society as a whole.
