Dr. Mahesh Chander, ISOFAR board member, has organized with his Indian friends an international scientific conference “Organic Farming Research, Technologies and Extension” at the Biofach 2020 in India. ISOFAR was partner, together with the Indian Institute of Farming Systems Research and others.
Because of CoVid-19, the event was done virtually. ISOFAR president Prof. Dr. Gerold Rahmann and ISOFAR board members Dr. Khalid Azim and Dr. Mahesh Chander gave speeches, related to Organic Agricultural Research, the methodology of a system and interdisciplinary approaches and the role of ISOFAR in the international networking of scientists.
About 250 participants have attended the event. Particularly in times under extreme restrictions of traveling, due to the pandemic CoVid-19, such events are very important to keep contact between each other and to give scientists a platform to present and discuss.
