Organic Farming Learning Community

OFC supports the development of all types of agricultural and horticultural businesses towards the adoption of organic practices. We connect organizations across the agricultural and food sectors to exchange knowledge and promote innovation.

Our Mission

The Organic Farming Learning Community (OFC) seeks to accelerate the transition toward fair and healthy agricultural and food systems. We connect organizations from policymakers to farmers, fostering new partnerships and promoting innovation in agroecology and organic agriculture.

While there is already a wealth of knowledge available, new perspectives often bring new questions. The Organic Farming Connector is here to close those knowledge gaps by supporting continuous exchange and innovation—from helping you identify key contacts to organizing roundtables, workshops, and practical training.

Four Principles of Organic Farming

Health

Sustaining and enhancing the health of soil, plant, animal, human and planet as one and indivisible.

Ecology

Based on living ecological systems and cycles, working with them, emulating them and helping sustain them.

Care

Managed in a precautionary and responsible manner to protect the health and well-being of current and future generations.

Built on relationships that ensure fairness with regard to the common environment and life opportunities.
