The first international conference on organic rice production systems is open to researchers and to all stakeholders in the production chain: rice growers, professional organisations and their partners, collection, transformation and commercialisation companies, territorial managers.

 

The principal objective of the conference is to stimulate and favour exchanges between research scientists, rice growers and other stakeholders in the organic rice production and commercialisation chain.

Conference aims:

  • identify innovations being undertaken and obstacles that block the development of these systems; 
  • analyse the impact of different types of organic rice production on food quality and health and their contribution to the construction of the pillars of sustainable development; 
  • analyse the impact of public policy and to propose guidelines.

The conference is taking place at the INRA campus in Montpellier, France.
