FederBio, the umbrella organization of the international and national organic and biodynamic agriculture movement, and the Italian Association for Biodynamic Agriculture are partnering with BolognaFiere within the framework of the Biodiversity Park at EXPO Milan 2015. We share the choice and effort undertaken by the patron of  SANA - the most important organic fair in Italy - to portray   the innovative contents of organic and biodynamic agriculture in a thematic area of EXPO of crucial importance. We trust that the answer to the challenge posed by EXPO, which is 'Feeding the planet, Energy for life', lays in the food and agriculture innovations developed in recent years by the organic and biodynamic sector.

We believe that  the EXPO event, with its thematic park entirely dedicated to biodiversity and organic agriculture, along with  the debate opened by the  Milan Charter (i.e. Carta di Milano) sought by the Italian Government and that will  be handed-over to the UN on 16 October 2015, represent a unique opportunity for the whole international and national organic and biodynamic movement to lead  discussions in what otherwise, would take place without the contribution of those who embody the real food and farming innovations of the 20th century.

It is precisely because we are aware of the contradictions and the risks of a Universal Exposition heavily influenced by the presence of the large multinational food companies and by the commercial and sensational aspects of food, that we call upon you to join us and take part of the  International Organic and Biodynamic Forum that we will launch in EXPO Milan  on 16 May  2015.

Our hope is to share with the all organic and biodynamic communities, as well as with like-minded organizations, enterprises and citizens, a vision of the future in which the organic food and farming model would finally have the leading role it deserves.
