Conventional agriculture has clearly failed to fulfill its claim of providing food and nourishment for all. Despite more than 70 years of chemical- and petroleum-reliant farming practices, about 1 billion people are malnourished or starving today.

This conference will challenge the myth that organic production is only for the privileged few and that it will never be able to feed the world.

The conference will be in english.
