IFOAM's mission is leading, uniting and assisting the organic movement in its full diversity.
Our goal is the worldwide adoption of ecologically, socially and
economically sound systems that are based on the principles of Organic
Agriculture.
Leading the organic movements worldwide, IFOAM implements the will of
its broad based constituency - from farmers' organizations to
multinational certification agencies, ensuring the credibility and
longevity of organic agriculture as a means to ecological, economic and
social sustainability.
Uniting the organic world, IFOAM provides platforms to stakeholders for
a wide range of purposes. Through international conferences, committee
meetings, and other forums, IFOAM facilitates the ongoing and
constructive dialogue about the future and status of organic
agriculture.
Assisting its membership, IFOAM implements specific projects that
facilitate the adoption of organic agriculture, particularly in
developing countries. IFOAM also represents the organic agriculture
movements at United Nations and other intergovernmental agencies.

- IFOAM develops, communicates and defends the principles of organic agriculture
