The Gateway provides a single access point for a wide range of information related to the welfare of farm animals. It is a participatory platform to retrieve and submit information, as well as to engage in commonly developed projects and thematic discussions.
Organic agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems, biodiversity and people. It relies on ecological processes and nutrient cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of external inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines traditional knowledge, innovation and modern science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved (IFOAM, 2004).
