Sampran Riverside (formerly Rose Garden Riverside) was founded over half a century ago and covers over 70 acres of landscaped organic gardens by the serene Ta Chine River. The property comprises a fourstar hotel, antique Thai houses, meeting facilities, spa, Weekend Farmers Market, certified organic farm and a Thai village. The emphasis is on living the traditional Thai way of life, and Sampran Riverside is more like a riverside community than a typical resort. Tailored programmes are offered for conferences, seminars, midsized meetings, training and teambuilding, theme events or a combination of all of these. Corporate groups appreciate the serene setting of the property as well as its creative breakout options and willingness to go the extra mile. Sampran Riverside is also a popular venue for weddings, the gardens and teak houses providing a pictureperfect backdrop and the style of reception ranging from small private party to a memorable extravaganza with elephants and traditionalThaidancers.

ABOUT THIS DIRECTORY

The Organic Agriculture Worldwide IFOAM Directory contains the contact details and other relevant information, such as key fields of activities of all IFOAM Members and Associates. The Directory reflects the membership situation as of December 2013 with the most up-to-date information available to us, including many new email and website addresses. This Directory lists all IFOAM Members and Associates alphabetically by their respective countries and/or territories. Individual Supporters are listed at the end of this Directory, for you to know who is connected as an individual to the global organic movement. Within each country and/or territory, the IFOAM Members (companies, institutions and associations that are predominantly active in organic and thus have the right to vote in the IFOAM General Assembly) and IFOAM Associates (companies, institutions and associations that are not yet predominately involved in organic) are listed in alphabetical order by their full name. The contact details of the IFOAM Members and Associates are complemented with their logo, symbol or trademark wherever known and available. A description of the field(s) of activity of the organization is also provided. In order to keep the IFOAM Directory updated, please let us know about any address changes or mistakes that you may notice. The next edition of this Directory will be available in early 2015. Please be aware that IFOAM Membership is different from IFOAM Accreditation. The IFOAM Accreditation Program (IAP) evaluates the practices of Certification Bodies. Marketing products that are certified by an IFOAM Accredited Certification Body do not infer IFOAM Membership and, conversely, IFOAM Membership does not imply or constitute IFOAM Accreditation. Certification Bodies accredited by the IOAS according to the IAP (as of Dec. 2013) are marked in this Directory.

IFOAM - Defining Organic Landmarks since 1972

The Definition of Organic Agriculture Organic Agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic Agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved. The Principles of Organic Agriculture Organic Agriculture is based on the principles of health, ecology, fairness and care. The Scope of Organic Agriculture IFOAM regards any system that is based on the Principles of Organic Agriculture and uses organic methods, as Organic Agriculture and any farmer practicing such a system as an organic farmer. This includes various forms of certified and non-certified Organic Agriculture. Guarantee Systems may be for instance third party certification, including group certification, as well as participatory guarantee systems.

IFOAM Inter-continental Network of Organic Farmers Organisations
Efforts made by Organic farmers organisations over many years to set up their own professional union took root after their 2008 assembly in Vignola, Italy. They now have their own autonomous self-organized structure in which their organisations can consult & cooperate and, when necessary, speak with a legitimate common voice on matters of common concern. Initial objectives are limited to setting up an infra-structure of Convenors & Spokesmen mandated from the grass roots upwards, by which farmers organisations keep in touch with each other at national & regional levels and, when necessary, at intercontinental level. Once every 3 years, each local farmers organisations can send delegates to the INOFO General Assembly (always same place as IFOAM GA). Next INOFO GA: Istanbul, Sunday 12 Oct 2014. Participation is open to any Organic farmers union. To enquire about formalities or to identify your nearest Convenor, contact the INOFO secretary at FNAB (France): apinschof@fnab.org

Organic World Foundation

The Organic World Foundation was created and set up by IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) in 2008 to support it in funding its core activities and in increasing the visibility of organic food in the world. Organic agriculture offers a real alternative to conventional, chemical-based agriculture. Organic means sustainability over long term and food security. It means respect for the environment and biodiversity. It also means reducing dependence on fossil fuels that contribute to climate change. Supporting organic certainly means opposing genetic engineering in all of agriculture.

Our Nature is Organic

We firmly believe that organic agriculture can produce sufficient, safe and healthy food for everyone. But organic agriculture still remains a small fraction of the total agricultural and food production of the world. Therefore, IFOAM is constantly working to enable organic trade, protect organic integrity, provide invaluable resources and information, and guarantee that the organic voice is heard at critical policy discussions worldwide. IFOAM wants to enhance the organic community, to help create a vision of the future and actionable steps to take us there.

SEKEMs commitment to innovative development led to the nationwide application of biodynamic methods to control pests and improve crop yields. For example, in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture, SEKEM deployed a new system of plant protection for cotton, reducing total pesticide intake to less than 10% and leading to a ban on crop dusting in the country. SEKEM has grown in the last decade to become a nationally renowned enterprise and market leader in organic consumer goods. Apart from strong and long-lasting export partnerships in Europe and the US, today, more than half of SEKEMs overall sales are domestic within Egypt, making the country home to one of the largest markets of organic products.

Macedonian Association for Organic Food is a citizens association whose motto is - Macedonians deserve safe and healthy food. MAOF is nongovernmental, non-profitable organization that helps organize the production and distribution of organic food. MAOFs primary task is to introduce potential producers of organic food to the possibilities of how to produce and sell food labeled as a product of organic origin. Macedonia has the need to educate farmers to change to organic food production, without fearing that lower returns mean lower incomes. Younger generations, even todays students in primary and middle school, should be educated from this moment on to accept farming and the production of food as an honorable and profitable profession, since organic is not a trend but the future of the civilizations development.
