African Organic Conference (AOC)
Project Overview
The African Organic Conference (AOC) is the premier continental platform uniting organic agriculture actors across Africa and beyond. Held every three years, the AOC acts as the central hub for policy dialogue, knowledge sharing, and trade facilitation.
It brings together policymakers, researchers, farmers, certifiers, and international partners to share experiences, successes, challenges, and ideas. By establishing a unified voice, the AOC is critical in shaping the future of organic agriculture, ensuring that African farmers have the knowledge, the land, and the policy backing to make sustainable farming an economic reality.
