The Statutes regulate the framework in which the GA operates, and the GA Rules of Procedure guide processes related to the GA. Both documents are recommended reading for Members who intend to actively participate in an upcoming GA.
The OWC always takes place in collaboration with the local organic sector. Those who submit an application and meet all the criteria present their bids to the GA. Members then vote on which bid they think is best and the winner hosts the next Organic World Congress. Bidding applications will be announced soon.
