4th International conference on the organic development in Central/Eastern European and Central Asian countries April 13 – 14, 2012 in Izmir, Turkey with excursions on April 12 and 15
Organizers: Organic Federation of Ukraine, «Organic Servises" (Germany), «Ekolojik Tarım Organizasyonu Derneği» (Turkey).
We warmly welcome you to participate at the 4th International conference on the organic development in Central/Eastern European and Central Asian countries in Izmir, Turkey!
This year’s conference will focus on organic farming and how to maintain and improve its integrity. As Turkey is one of the leading organic cotton and textile producers, sustainable textiles will be included in the conference.
Organic products can be trusted. The inspection and certification regime is the best the food industry at large has ever experienced. But scandals and fraud cases weaken the integrity of organic.
Some issues which may later result in fraudulent actions have their beginning in the failure of successfully implementing organic principles in farming or at any other point of the food chain.
Experiences and challenges in organic quality assurance along the product chain will be discussed from the point of view of producers, processors and certifiers.
We also invite you to submit your proposal to become a speaker of the 4th International conference on the organic development in Central/Eastern European and Central Asian countries. Submissions will be judged on relevance to conference topics and fit into the conference programme. The call for contributions is open until February 24, 2012. Use the opportunity to contribute your expertise and become a speaker of the conference!
This year the conference will be held in parallel to the organic trade fair Ecology Izmir, providing participants the chance for B2B meetings as well as for traders to join the conference.
