The paper "Organic Agriculture and Food Security" suggests that organic agriculture has the potential to secure a global food supply, just as conventional agriculture is today, but with reduced environmental impact. New challenges such as climate change can also be mitigated by organic agriculture through such measures as enhanced soil carbon sequestration. Organic agriculture also offers practical climate adaptation options.
The paper calls on governments to “allocate resources for organic agriculture and to integrate its objectives and actions within their national agricultural development and poverty reduction strategies, with
particular emphasis on the needs of vulnerable groups.”
The report, conference proceedings and press release can be found on the FAO website.
"The cooperation between WECF and Eastern European environmental NGOs gives a good basis for improving the environment and life conditions, in such way that the future generations of these countries can benefit."
