International Society of Organic Agriculture Research (ISOFAR) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded by scientists in 2003. We foster global cooperation in research, education, and knowledge exchange to advance understanding and innovation in organic systems. Through international collaboration, ISOFAR connects researchers, practitioners, and institutions dedicated to building a more sustainable and resilient food future. We support our members with a rich network of services, publications, and events that encourage the sharing of ideas and the growth of organic agriculture worldwide.
