GOMA Conference Agenda is Now Available

The provisional GOMA Conference Agenda and Timetable  includes keynote addresses, thematic presentations and panels, and group discussions.  Speakers on the theme of regional cooperation will related the value received from joining forces to develop harmonized regional standards and regulatory programs. Representatives from the organic regulatory programs in the EU, Canada and United States discuss the opportunities and responsibilities for increasing equivalence.  Panelists from Brazil, India and China will offer perspectives on their emerging global roles in the global organic value chain.  A special conference session will examine the burgeoning scope and detail of organic standards and assess the appropriate role of standards in organic sector development.

Several special announcements on equivalence are expected at the Conference.  Keynote speeches from United States Department of Agriculture, World Trade Organization, African Union, and EcoSocial Forum will bring unexpected perspectives and challenges into the discourse.

Conference registration includes the conference lunches and a reception on 13 February, with the opportunity to mingle with speakers and other attendees.
