The IFOAM coordinated Sustainable Organic Agriculture Action Network (SOAAN)

SOAAN will develop activities that continuously lead organic agriculture and its related supply chains towards an increasingly holistic and sustainable approach to agricultural production for the benefit of all society. Network members, actors from the organic world and food chain stakeholders beyond will use SOAAN's resources and guides, including principles, objectives, best practices and indicators for the measurement of continuous improvements towards a fully sustainable agriculture and food chain. Organic production and marketing systems will be continuously enhanced resulting in it being increasingly recognized as the most appropriate production system for smallholder farmers and food and agriculture in general.
