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:
- assess actual knowledge of the functioning of organic rice production systems on different time and space scales;
- 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.
