	World Food Day 2005: Message from the International Organic Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		IFOAM and the international organic movement worldwide are demonstrating the relevance of organic agriculture in promoting and enhancing biodiversity and food security and creating an ecologically, socially and economically sound future for all.
		Organic agriculture contributes to food security by increasing yields in low-input areas, conserving biodiversity and nature resources on the farm and in the surrounding areas, increasing income and reducing costs, producing safe and varied food and providing for long term sustainability.
		IFOAM reemphasizes the call on the FAO to restrict or ban intellectual property rights on plant genetic resources for food and agriculture within the multilateral system, in the interests of long-term food security and to prevent biopiracy.

	Genetic Pollution Needs to Stop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Despite the organic movement's stringent efforts to keep GMOs (genetically engineered /modified organisms) out of organic production, some US organic farmers have found their corn (maize) crops, including seeds, to contain detectable levels of genetically engineered DNA.
		The organic movement is firm in its opposition to any use of GMOs in agriculture, and organic standards explicitly prohibit their use.
		IFOAM calls on governments and regulatory agencies throughout the world to immediately ban the use of genetic engineering in agriculture and food production, while there is still a chance to stop this unwanted pollution.

	Biotechnology and Development Monitor, No. 34, p. 24.
		Organic agriculture, defined by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) as all agricultural systems that promote the environmentally, socially and economically sound production of food and fibres, seems to leave no room for the application of certain modern biotechnologies such as genetic engineering.
		In Vietnamese agriculture, it has been estimated that currently 1.5 million tonnes of urea and ammonium sulphate, 0.6 million tonnes of phosphorous fertilizers and hundreds of thousands of tonnes of potassium fertilizers are used annually.
		Therefore, contrary to IFOAM’ s definition of organic agriculture, I would argue that organic agriculture should make use of modern biotechnologies such as genetic engineering, as long as this means using living matters that are safe for the environment and people.

	Africa Fertilizer Summit Poses Deep Concerns for the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements
		Instead of relying upon external inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides, Organic Agriculture puts farmers at the center of the farming strategy, restoring the decision-making role to rural communities, guaranteeing the local control of resources and encouraging active participation in a value added food chain.
		IFOAM President Gerald A. Herrmann stated “Indeed, low soil fertility is a cause of Africa’s food insecurity; however, it is certainly not the only cause.
		IFOAM extends an invitation to those participating in the Summit, like Jacques Diouf, secretary General of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Jimmy Carter, as well as to journalists, to broaden their view and have a look at an organic farm in Senegal on June 28th.

		This kind of organic farming system that protects the soil and recharges aquifers is considered to be economically viable, provided that long-term investments are made available to ensure the survival of local inhabitants during the long gestation periods of forest-based farming.
		The advantages include al the advantages of trees, as maintenaince of organic matter, prevention of run off, ecosystem stability etc. The paper warns against exaggerated expectations; agroforestry should not be considered a panacea for all the defects of landuse systems in the tropics.
		This paper is also presented at the 4th International Conference of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, held in Boston at 18-20 August 1982.
