The Organic Academy offers effective and comprehensive training programs, developed to support the strategy of IFOAM - Organics International and the needs of the organic movement. Training courses are high quality and purpose-built with an inclusive approach, ensuring a balance between theoretical content and active participation.

We offer three different courses to address the diverse needs of participants and organizations:

Organic Leadership Course (OLC): our flagship training program held around the globe, the OLC is an intensive one-year course that empowers participants to assume greater responsibility in finding organic solutions to address the world's environmental and social challenges. Please find resources related to recent and ongoing OLCs here.
Organic Foundation Course (OFC): a practice-center further education course, the OFC is popular with organizations requiring a shorter, but still comprehensive course that adopts a global outlook and regionalized approach. Our foundation course has been delivered in collaboration with recognized institutions like the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) and the FAO.
Tailored Training Programs: developed with our clients to serve their specific needs and unique circumstances, our tailor-made training options vary from extensive training programs with two or more residential sessions and monthly webinars to one day typical training courses delivered at conferences or workshops.

Founded in 1972, we are the only international umbrella organization for the organic world, uniting diverse range of stakeholders contributing to the organic vision.
Day by day, we work towards true sustainability in agriculture, from the field, through the value chain to the consumer. From building awareness among the public and advocating for sustainable policy, to building capacity and facilitating the transition of farmers to organic agriculture, everything we do aims to strengthen the organic movement and lead it forwards.
We have Affiliates in more than 120 countries. In order to unify, lead and assist this a broad-based constituency in a fair, inclusive and participatory manner, we organize a General Assembly every three years.

At every General Assembly, our members elect the World Board, who shape the direction of our work and appoint Affiliates to committees, working groups and task forces on topics like the development of standards or the facilitation of Organic Agriculture in developing countries.

Our member organizations also establish alliances based on regional priorities (Regional Bodies) and sector-specific priorities (Sector Platforms).
