For the first time ever, a complete global list of equivalence arrangements, enabling the trade of organic products between countries, has been compiled and is now available online on the IFOAM website in the form of a new tool: The Organic Equivalence Tracker.
IFOAM – Organics International has been promoting harmonisation and equivalence in organic agriculture since 2002, through various international events and projects. Of particular note is our partnership with the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) on sequential projects, the International Task Force on Harmonization and Equivalence in Organic Agriculture (2003-2008) and the Global Organic Market Access project (2009-2012).
