Organic products are good for our health, our communities, our environment and our economy. Good for today, and good for tomorrow.

OANZ Conference - Innovate: Go Organic!

OANZ's 2009 Organic Sector Conference - from 13 to 15 November at the University of Waikato - will focus on the innovation which is inherent in organic and biodynamic farming, marketing and organizations.

Conference presenters will include leading experts in farming, foodservice and business - each bringing their own innovative and surprising perspectives on organics.  The conference's first day is dedicated to the best of pure and applied research, while field trips to successful organic producers provide chances to share information and 'on farm' experience.

On the evening of 14 November OANZ's gala dinner will include the presentation of our annual Organic Awards, celebrating outstanding producers, exporters and individuals.

You're invited to join us, our speakers, and the New Zealand organic community for a conference which will excite, inspire and educate.  More information and registration information is available from the conference website - www.goorganic.org.nz.
