Aims and Background
The International Scientific Conference on Organic Agriculture Researching Sustainable Systems is a main module of the 15th IFOAM Organic World Congress, hosted by NASAA. The Scientific Conference coordinated by the International Society of Organic Agriculture Research (ISOFAR) in co-operation with the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) and the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia (NASAA). The conference will be held in Adelaide, Australia, 21 - 23 September 2005.
The 15th IFOAM Organic World Congress consists of three main modules / conferences
- IFOAM World Conference ‘Shaping Sustainable Systems’, addressing broader themes of the organic movement
- International Scientific Conference on Organic Agriculture ‘Researching Sustainable Systems’
- 8th International IFOAM Conference on Organic Viticulture
The International Scientific Conference on Organic Agriculture ‘Researching Sustainable Systems’ is a joint conference of ISOFAR and IFOAM.
The conference fee gives access to all three conferences of the 15th IFOAM Organic World Congress.
Historically most Organic Agricultural research results have been published in so-called ‘grey literature’ that is read mainly by those already involved in organic research. In order to increase awareness of organic research, ISOFAR hopes to see more contributions published in well-recognised international journals. For this conference, contributions that are likely to be published on this level are sought. Acceptance of papers will be based on their relevance to Organic Agriculture, contribution to the overall aims of ISOFAR, and scientific quality. ISOFAR welcomes papers on all aspects of Organic Agriculture.
