International Society of Organic Agriculture Research ISOFAR
The International Society of Organic Agriculture Research (ISOFAR) promotes and supports research in all areas of organic agriculture by facilitating global co-operation in research, methodological development, education and knowledge exchange; supporting individual researchers through membership services, publications and events and integrating stakeholders in the research process.
ISOFAR pursues its mission by:
- supporting individual researchers, from both generalist organic systems and specialist disciplinary backgrounds, through membership services including events, publications, and relevant scientific structures;
- facilitating global cooperation in research, education, and knowledge exchange;
- encouraging conceptual, methodological, and theoretical development, respecting the ethos of organic agriculture, in a systems/interdisciplinary context;
- encouraging the active participation of users and stakeholders, with their accumulated knowledge and experience, in the prioritisation, development, conduct, evaluation, and communication of research;
- fostering relationships with related research associations, including joint events and publications.
The current president is Professor Dr. Gerold Rahmann from the Thuenen-Institute of Organic Farming in Germany.
