Theme - Cool Farming for Hot Planet [Organic Farming as a solution to Global Warming]

Inaugural Session : 15 Dec 2010 at 9.30 A.M.

OFAI’s Third Biennial Convention will be held on 15, 16, and 17 December, 2010 [Wednesday to Friday] at Bhaikaka Krishi Kendra, Ravipura [Anand-Sojitra Road], District Anand, Gujarat state. The BKK is the biodynamic farm of OFAI President Shri Sarvdaman and Mina Patel. OFAI is grateful to this wonderful couple for agreeing to host the TBC 2010.

The theme of the TBC 2010 is “Cool Farming for a Hot Planet,” reflecting the widely held conviction that organic farming not only eliminates or minimizes contributions from agriculture to green house gases (when contrasted with chemical agriculture), but also actively helps in keeping more carbon in the soil.

Registration begins on 15 September, 2010. First preference will be given to OFAI members. No spot registration will be allowed at the venue on convention days. Limited numbers of participants allowed since the venue is a farm. Registration closes 20 November, 2010. No admission at the gate.
