WE UNITE ORGANIC FARMER ORGANISATIONS

THE INTER-CONTINENTAL NETWORK OF ORGANIC FARMER ORGANISATIONS

Utilizing the power of bottom-up farmer led approach, INOFO is a global network that facilitates a new relationship between existing Organic* farmers associations. INOFO is not a new organisation, and certainly not one for individual farmers to join. We lobby for change to pursue common objectives that relate to food sovereignty in general and, in particular, to public policy & farmers land rights, climate adaptation, production standards & guarantee systems, marketing & pricing negotiations, participatory research, technical training & exchanges, education & other farmers concerns. Additionally, we focus on developing youth engagement in all professional forums, ensuring that social and environmental dimensions in our communities are not compromised. Finally, INOFO hopes to illuminate the issues surrounding small-scale, organic farming by publicly discussing and bringing forward the realities of the farmers across the world.

* The English term designating this production method, Organic agriculture, is synonymous in other languages with different terms, such as ecologico and biologique, as defined by private standards and/or legislation in most countries. It is not a theory, an ideology or a trading system, it is a method of production based on the agronomy of the living soil and on the historic refusal by pioneer farmers of synthetic chemicals (fertilisers, pesticides and other unwanted inventions).
