Every three years, the emblematic IFOAM Organic World Congress (OWC) is held in conjunction with our General Assembly, involving thousands of organic farmers, producers, researchers, advocates, and policy experts from around the world. By rotating across countries, the OWC brings global visibility to the host country.

The aim of the congress and related activities (pre-conference, General Assembly, side-events and organic exhibition) is to share experiences, innovations and knowledge about the organic world.

The Congress provides inspiration and an extraordinary momentum for all those who take part and is seen as a leading event for the global organic sector. The Organic World Congress has a long history, spanning back to 1977, and has been a key meeting place of the organic movement ever since.
