Letter from the Executive Director Who are you, Global Organic Movement? Who are you, Global Organic Movement? Who is behind the IFOAM Action Network? Who is in charge for global advocacy or the global guarantee system? Who can be contacted for specific organic issues? Legitimate questions. This Organic Agriculture Worldwide Directory provides the answers. The statistics tell us that we have 69.7 million ha certified organic land, US$ 63 billion consumer purchase of organic products and 1.8 million certified organic farmers. However, they don’t tell us, who are the people and their institutions behind. Therefore, every year, this IFOAM directory lists the organizations and individuals, all of which share one common characteristic: they participate in the Global Organic Movement. Yet, this directory does not only include the 788 affiliates (members, associates, and supporters) in 117 countries that make up IFOAM’s membership; it also provides an overview of the IFOAM Self Organized Structures, including the IFOAM Regional Bodies, the IFOAM Sector Platforms and the IFOAM Subsidiaries. And it lists the affiliates of IFOAM led Action Networks and all the active committees working for IFOAM. Behind each institution, behind each face, there is uniqueness but there are also the shared values such as the four principles of Organic Agriculture. Altogether, we aspire for a more sustainable, a fairer world and we have a common commitment that impresses the world. Thank you all for being part! Organically yours,
Markus Arbenz IFOAM Executive Director PS: You spotted a mistake or a missing stakeholder? Please, let us know and encourage others to become IFOAM Affiliates (membership@ifoam.org).
IFOAM’S Vision, Mission and Strategy

The Definition of Organic Agriculture Organic Agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic Agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved. The Principles of Organic Agriculture Organic Agriculture is based on the principles of health, ecology, fairness and care.
IFOAM - Defining Organic Landmarks since 1972
The Scope of Organic Agriculture IFOAM regards any system that is based on the Principles of Organic Agriculture and uses organic methods, as ‘Organic Agriculture’ and any farmer practicing such a system as an ‘organic farmer’. This includes various forms of certified and non-certified Organic Agriculture. Guarantee Systems may be for instance third party certification, including group certification, as well as participatory guarantee systems.

Standards & Regulations: That‘s Organic Worldwide The IFOAM Family of Standards draws the line between organic and not organic. It contains all standards and regulations that have passed an equivalence assessment against a normative reference approved by IFOAM’s membership. IFOAM encourages governments and standard users to recognize other standards in the Family as equivalent.

+51-1-2750890 +51-9696-54187 p.flores@ifoam.org
In June 2007, IFOAM opened a Regional Office to support the development of Organic Agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean. Presently, the office is based in Lima-Peru. Patricia Flores Escudero represents IFOAM in Latin America and the Caribbean. She works in close cooperation with staff from the IFOAM Head Office in Bonn and regional membership and allies. Objectives • Supporting the development of Organic Agriculture in the region, while being an opportunity to be more closely connected to the regional organic movement; • Increasing regional membership, which includes important organizations of the Organic Agriculture movement with a national outreach; • Capacity building in the organic sector, e.g. by organizing regional events (workshops, regional meetings, etc.); • Increasing recognition for Participatory Guarantee Systems PGS in Organic Agriculture regulations.
IFOAM Committees Participatory Guarantee System Committee According to the PGS Committee Terms of Reference approved by the IFOAM Executive Board in July 2009, the PGS Committee: • Assists the development of PGS; • Provides the World Board with advice on how to develop, facilitate and encourage PGS around the world; • Participates in mid-term and long-term strategic planning for IFOAM’s activities on PGS; and • Identifies and systemizes PGS concepts and tools appropriate for the facilitation and promotion of PGS. Members: Eva Torremocha (Spain), Alice Varon (USA), Chris May (New Zealand), Mathew John (India), Janet Villanueva (Peru) and Marc Lewis (South Africa). Flávia Castro, Project Coordinator at the IFOAM Head Office, acts as secretary of the PGS Committee. Members were nominated for a 3-year term in 2012.
Standards Requirements Committee The Standards Requirements Committee (SRC) works on the development of the IFOAM Standards Requirements (also known as COROS- Common Objectives and Requirements of Organic Standards), which is the international reference for assessing organic standards and serves as a basis for the approval of standards under the IFOAM Family of Standards. Members: Katherine Di Matteo, Roberto Setti, Brendan Hoare, Lara Vivas, Bridget O’Connor and Jorge Casal
Standard Committee The IFOAM Standard Committee (SC) works on the development of the IFOAM Standard, which is the global off-theshelf certification standard maintained by IFOAM for organic production and processing, and also the basis for IFOAM Accreditation. Members: Tali Berner, Sarah Hathway, Stephen Barrow, Chayaporn Wattanasiri (as SRC representative), Daniel Neuhoff, Andrew Monk, Jan Deane and Brian Baker.
Accreditation Requirements Committee The IFOAM Accreditation Requirements Committee works on the development of the IFOAM Accreditation Requirements (formerly called “IFOAM Accreditation Criteria”). Those requirements are the main normative document upon which the IFOAM Accreditation and the IFOAM Global Organic System Accreditation are based. These two IFOAM accreditation programs require certification bodies to demonstrate full compliance with the IFOAM Accreditation Requirements. Members: Raymond Yang, Dilip Dhaker, Amaia Aldana Gondra (as IOAS representative), David Eboku, Carlos Escobar, Arjon Kalter, Mildred Steidle, Roberto Setti.
The Sustainable Organic Agriculture Action Network Launched in early 2012, the Sustaiable Organic Agriculture Action Network (SOAAN) is the organic movement’s organized effort to embrace the complex challenge of global sustainability. Agriculture and its value chains are the basis of human civilization. They form a large part of the global economy and are essential to local communities’ survival. It is increasingly recognized that the dominant global agricultural paradigm is not sustainable; if we keep heading in the direction it is taking us, the problems it has wrought will also increase. Organic agriculture is a viable solution to these problems.
SOOAN
Steering Group: SOAAN member organisation representatives provide directional guidance
Advisory Group: Technical advice to Core Group
Secretariat (IFOAM): Technical coordination, communication
Core Group: Technical content of SOAAN products
IFOAM convened SOAAN to re-assert the organic movement’s leadership in agriculture worldwide, to position organic agriculture as the best mainstream approach to attaining sustainability. SOAAN takes a critical look at all dimensions of sustainability: societal, ecological, economic, and cultural. It describes practices and strategies that all value chain actors and their stakeholders can adopt to turn the tide of human activity toward prosperity and health of all human communities and their environments. SOAAN’s early work has been to create a reference document of Best Practice, which serves as a guideline that can be used by all parties involved with agriculture value chains to evaluate and improve their performance. Defining best practice serves to inspire those who aspire to a better world in concrete ways. This includes the organic sector, which is not immune from needing improvement. SOAAN’s work encourages and guides research, innovation, assessment and communication so that knowledge and achievement can be shared far and wide for the benefit of organic and non-organic producers alike. IFOAM and SOAAN are creating a real and virtual Community of Best Practice that will contain and make easily accessible and useful the different aspects of our collected works, with relevance to all kinds of stakeholders and organizations. Founded on the Principles of Organic Agriculture, SOAAN bases its statements on sound science and continually seeks to build the body of evidence that supports the stated best practices. The results of such studies can be used by individual producers or value chains, and can also be aggregated to show the combined impacts across multiple producers or even whole sectors. These can be used for guiding improvement on the ground, as well as for influencing policy and raising public awareness. IFOAM serves as the Secretariat for SOAAN and will assure that it has a home for the long term. But the benefits SOAAN spreads will come from the broadening community of SOAAN member organizations and their networks. Our task involves reaching as many people as possible at all levels of the value chain and all scales of operations. With the public release of the Best Practice reference draft, SOAAN will take renewed steps to expand its network and reach, extending beyond the core of leading organic organizations that founded it. We welcome inquiries and alliances and invite people to ascribe to and adopt best practices and to contribute their expertise and energy to these efforts. For more information go to www.ifoam.org/growing_organic/Best_Practice_Program/index.php or contact the SOAAN Secretariat: d.gould@ifoam.org.

Sector-Specific Interest Groups Intercontinental Network of Organic Farmers Organizations (INOFO) The sporadic efforts made by Organic farmers organisations, over many years, to set up their own professional network, culminating in the Vignola meeting of 2008, are finally taking root. INOFO is now an autonomous internal body of IFOAM. The first practical step has been to set up a minimal infrastructure belonging specifically to Organic farmers organisations, that can facilitate a direct relationship allowing them to consult and cooperate and, eventually, to speak with a common voice on matters of common concern.
Activities • Establishing the network of Convenors & Deputy Convenors mandated by the existing organizations. Convenors facilitate internal & external consultations, are informed of what is wanted on the agenda, and pass reports & statements to and from the networks. Each Convenorship organises its own translation services where necessary, its own agenda • and all other internal affairs; • The intention is for the organic farmers organisations to be clearly heard within IFOAM and beyond, and to cooperate in pursuing common objectives as they relate to food sovereignty, for example, or adaptation to climate change, production standards, farmers markets, guarantee Systems, exchange visits and all farmers concerns generally.Representing organic farmers organizations within IFOAM and beyond; • The Convenors (with their Deputies, belonging to different farmers organisations) between them facilitate occasional or annual consultations at regional or inter-continental level, as well as an intercontinental assembly every three years. At the last assembly (Korea, Sunday 2 Oct. 2011) delegates from fifty organisations in 27 countries, representing about half a million farming families, elected Convenors & executives and set their organisational & thematic Agenda for the coming 3-year period. Certain reports and other documents will be available via links appearing on the INOFO web page. Farmers organisations are invited to mandate a contact person to keep in touch via their Convenor whose name and e-mail address will appear on the INOFO web page: www.ifoam.org/about_ifoam/professional/farmers_network
Convenorships The following Convenorships have been or are being established: • • • • •
Africa francophone, Africa West+Central anglophone, Africa South-East; Europe West, Europe East; Asia West+Central, Asia South, Asia South-East, Asia East; Australia+NZ, Pacific; America South, America Central+Caribbean, America North.

IFOAM DAUGHTER ORGANIZATIONS IOAS About the IOAS IOAS is an independent nonprofit organisation that works on behalf of organic and sustainable agriculture to ensure trust and fair trade in certified products. Our main activity is to verify the competence of certification bodies active in organic and sustainable agriculture. We work globally, focusing our work solely in this field and apply our unparalleled experience with commitment and enthusiasm. We work with private scheme owners like IFOAM and with regulators to assist in the development of organic agriculture by building trust in the certification worldwide. Our direct clients are the certification or control bodies throughout the world that inspect farms, processors and traders. For more information on the services described in this leaflet and new services available in 2013, please contact info@ioas.org IFOAM Accreditation IFOAM accreditation is the international verification of competence for certification bodies active in organic agriculture. Organic certification bodies are assessed against the IFOAM Norms. The global organic movement developed these norms in consultation with auditors and certificate holders to be particularly suited for organic certification. IFOAM accreditation is for those certification bodies who want to demonstrate their commitment to the global organic movement and who want to show their support for a harmonised, common-sense conformity assessment system. In 2012 the IFOAM Certification Standard became available as an off-the-shelf international certification standard with built-in equivalence to the major regulations. IFOAM accreditation can be used by country authorities as a simple mechanism for equivalence of imports. IFOAM Global Organic System Accreditation (IGOSA) This relatively new service for certification bodies is part of the IFOAM Organic Guarantee System. As part of the IGOSA, any private or regulatory production standard in the IFOAM Family of Standards may be used. The IFOAM Family of Standards includes the production standards of major regulations such as EC 834/2007, USDA National Organic Program and the Japan Agricultural Standard. IGOSA is of particular interest to inspection and control bodies working to national regulations as it offers an added verification against the highly regarded IFOAM Accreditation Requirements. The increased use of these requirements will contribute to simpler and more coherent quality systems between control bodies, and provide greater confidence to supervising authorities.

Collaborate with OWF The Organic World Foundation was created and set up by IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) in 2008 to support it in funding its core activities and in increasing the visibility of organic food in the world. Organic agriculture offers a real alternative to conventional, chemical-based agriculture. Organic means sustainability over long term and food security. It means respect for the environment and biodiversity. It also means reducing dependence on fossil fuels that contribute to climate change. Supporting organic certainly means opposing genetic engineering in all of agriculture. We firmly believe that organic agriculture can produce sufficient, safe and healthy food for everyone. But organic agriculture still remains a small fraction of the total agricultural and food production of the world. Therefore, IFOAM is constantly working to enable organic trade, protect organic integrity, provide invaluable resources and information, and guarantee that the organic voice is heard at critical policy discussions worldwide. IFOAM wants to enhance the organic community, to help create a vision of the future and actionable steps to take us there.

About this Directory and how it is structured The Organic Agriculture Worldwide IFOAM Directory contains the contact details and other relevant information, such as key fields of activities of all IFOAM Member Organizations and Associates. The Directory reflects the situation as of December 2012 with the most up-to-date information available to us, including many new email and website addresses. This Directory also includes an Index, listing all IFOAM Member Organizations and Associates alphabetically and with page numbers for easy reference. All IFOAM Member and Associate Organizations are listed in alphabetical order by their respective countries and/or territories. Individual Supporters are listed at the end of this Directory, for you to know who is connected as an individual to the global organic movement. Within each country and/or territory, the IFOAM Members (companies, institutions and associations that are predominantly active in Organic Agriculture and thus have the right to vote in the General Assembly) and IFOAM Associates (companies, institutions and associations that are not yet predominately involved in the organic movement) are listed in alphabetical order by their full name. Associates are marked with a * at the end of their name. The contact details of the IFOAM Members and Associates are complemented with their logo, symbol or trademark wherever known and available. A description of the field(s) of activity of the organization is also provided.

If you are unable to reach your desired contact, please get in touch with the IFOAM Head Office to check whether there has been a change in contact information. The next edition of this Directory will be available in early 2014. Please be aware that IFOAM Membership is different from IFOAM Accreditation. The IFOAM Accreditation Program (IAP) evaluates the practices of Certification Bodies. See page 14 for more information. Marketing products that are certified by an IFOAM Accredited Certification Body do not infer IFOAM Membership and, conversely, IFOAM Membership does not imply or constitute IFOAM Accreditation. Certification Bodies accredited by the IOAS according to the IAP (as of December 2012) are marked in this Directory.

ISO17065 Alnatura in Switzerland replaces ISO65
T
he German organic retail chain, Alnatura, is already well known to many Swiss consumers living near the Swiss-German border. The opening of the first Swiss Alnatura store has aroused great interest within the organic scene and beyond. Established standard of Swiss organic agriculture In Switzerland, the traditional competition between Coop and Migros also plays a part in the different organic and sustainability strategies. Migros was a leading actor in the development of ‘integrated production’ in Switzerland, but a late runner into the organic market. Coop started its programme ‘Coop Naturaplan’ as far back as 1993, causing Swiss organic production to increase dramatically. Today, all Coop Naturaplan products are certified organic and cobranded with the Bio Suisse label, the ‘bud’.
Organic wine in the US and EU NOP has issued a fact sheet on organic wine, labelling and trade. It clarifies certification of wine production in the US including when the two statements ‘organic wine’ and ‘made with organic grapes’ can be used.
I
n September 2012 the ISO/IEC Guide 17065 was launched, replacing ISO/IEC Guide 65 from 1996. The revised guide, which was produced after a five-year revision process, covers certification of products, processes and services by third-party certification body. The new guide is likely to come into force in 2015 but the actual date has not yet been confirmed.
An organic sweetener?
The plant Stevia rebaudiana and its extracts, such as steviol glycosides, are becoming very popular throughout the world as a sweetener substitute for sugar in processed food products. Since November 2011 steviol glycosides have been allowed as a natural sweetener in the EU by Regulation (CE) N° 1131/2011. However, steviol glycoside cannot be used in organic food, even if it comes from organically grown plants. This is because the additive steviol glycoside (E940) has not been included in the Annex VIII of Regulation 889/2008 and, therefore, is not permitted in organic food products. Read the full articles in TOS #140 from December 2012.

SEKEM is the first initiative to develop biodynamic farming methods in Egypt, building up fertile soil structures, improving agro-biodiversity and promoting organic composting; all products of the system can be sold, used in processing or re-used in cultivation. SEKEM’s commitment to innovative development led to the nationwide application of biodynamic methods to control pests and improve crop yields. For example, in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture, SEKEM deployed a new system of plant protection for cotton, reducing total pesticide intake to less than 10% and leading to a ban on crop dusting in the country. SEKEM has grown in the last decade to become a nationally renowned enterprise and market leader in organic consumer goods. Apart from strong and long-lasting export partnerships in Europe and the US, today, more than half of SEKEM’s overall sales are domestic within Egypt, making the country home to one of the largest markets of organic products.

Macedonian Association for Organic Food is a citizens association whose motto is - Macedonians deserve safe and healthy food. MAOF is nongovernmental, non-profitable organization that helps organize the production and distribution of organic food. MAOF’s primary task is to introduce potential producers of organic food to the possibilities of how to produce and sell food labeled as a “product of organic origin”. Macedonia has the need to educate farmers to change to organic food production, without fearing that lower returns mean lower incomes. Younger generations, even today’s students in primary and middle school, should be educated from this moment on to accept farming and the production of food as an honorable and profitable profession, since “organic” is not a trend but the future of the civilization’s development.

KASAMA KA ORGANIK KOOP is a broad-based farming cooperative with membership coming from organic producers, small farmers, academic and research communities, organic hobbyists and enthusiasts, agribusiness practitioners and advocates in sustainable and organic agriculture, wellness and healthy lifestyle. Membership includes cooperatives, organic farmers organizations and organic business groups. It serves as a catalyst in promoting, demonstrating or showcasing technical, socio-economic, and financial viability of commercializing sustainable, organic, and ecological agriculture in the countryside.
NATURE WONDERS ENTERPRISES is a merger of two corporations that delved into agriculture and natural organic foods and natural skin care products. Profits became secondary as passionate advocacy took the lead for changes needed for a better, healthier society in a clean environment. Over 15 years of hard earned experience equipped us with greater wisdom and understanding. In order to simplify operations, under Nature Wonders Enterprises, 3 divisions were set up to cater for the takeover of the Galactic Resources Development Corporation. The divisions correspond with thier product range e.g. agricultural inputs such as Alpha Bio Organic Fertilizer and Natural Wonders Unlimited Marketing Inc. for its natural and organic food and skin care products.

NISARD’s mission is advocating and promoting organic agriculture across the island as a vehicle for rural development, food security and poverty alleviation. It evolved out of serious socio-economic and environmental problems faced by Negrenses. Soil degradation due to monoculture and chemical farming, unabated deforestation that threatens remaining endemic flora and fauna, marginalization of small farmers due to dependency on expensive chemical farm inputs, depletion of marine resources from overfishing and other malpractices—see the Island’s natural resources in dire straits. And it takes its heavy toll on small, marginal farmers who comprise the majority of the island’s population and are highly dependent on agriculture as a source of income.
