Conference on International Harmonisation and Equivalence in Organic Agriculture

Nürnberg, Germany.
18-22 February, 2002

Executive Summary

Recognizing that a plethora of certification requirements and regulations are a major obstacle for a continuous and rapid development of the trade of organic products and thereby the growth of the organic sector, especially for producers in developing countries, UNCTAD, FAO and IFOAM organized the Conference on International Harmonization and Equivalence in Organic Agriculture.

The aims of the Conference were to bring clarity to the current situation, to identify and recommend models for interaction and constructive partnerships between public and private institutions active in the field of organic agriculture. One of the main conclusions of this conference was that a multi stakeholder task force composed of representatives of governments, FAO, UNCTAD and IFOAM should be set up.
