16 BIDDIng PrOPOSAL FOr THE 18 th IFOAM OrgAnIC WOrLD COngrESS 2014 Date and Outline of the Program Date The proposed dates for the 18th IFOAM Organic World Congress are 23 July - 02 August 2014 or 04-14 October 2014 As explained later in this document, The Lütfi Kırdar Congress and Exhibition Centre is an entity that belongs 25% to the Turkish Culture and Tourism Ministry and 75% to a consortium of a great number of businessmen. The centre is one of the most important congress centres of Istanbul. Because of its physical features and its the advantageous location the centre has an intensively loaded programme. Upon our request to the centre we have been allocated for two options. As the Bugday Association we do believe that both suggested date are appropriate. Outline of the Program Traditional Production is a hot topic at global and EU level but also in Turkey due to the harmonization process but also worldwide. That is the reason why the Bugday Association thinks there is a strong need to address the issue of these products being usually produced in harmony with nature. Most of these products do not meet the standards required by the different legislations and are subject to disappear. Under this theme, challenges and opportunities of traditional production in relation to organic will be explored and alternative certification schemes will be addressed. Additionally, local food systems and urban-rural linkages: In addressing the question of how to make food supply chain more sustainable and secure, it is widely acknowledged that the local food systems provide a tremendous potential. From local to global, benefits of local food systems (environmental, social and as well as economic) will be explored and good practices will be exchanged. Good Governance: Our second theme is linked with governance especially to explore ways to strengthen regional cooperation which is already treated within IFOAM under the governance task force findings and recommendations but our aim by choosing this topic is to share our experience on networking while gathering others experience through the congress but also enable an environment to assess/monitor the change after the implementation of the recent IFOAM good governance strategy in the coming three years. The end of the three years implementation process for the adopted good governance recommendations will also create a perfect moment to assess the training/information needs for further efficiency and increase in participation. Under this theme we aim to first enable the sharing of the progress then formulate sessions to identify the gaps but also opportunities for the future. Enhancement of regional partnership: Both above mentioned themes would be used as a basis for exploring ways to enhance and strengthen regional partnership. This theme will also need to gather feedback from different IFOAM members in the world in order to target relevant issues that could be better addressed through regional partnerships. However, Buğday is also planning to allocate special session on participation/Information exchange and advocacy. The aim of this theme is to create, enhance synergies through diverse relevant topics identified throughout the three-year preparations. However, despite the framing outline Buğday is willing to increase its communication with different IFOAM members in Turkey but also worldwide to ensure a programme agreed by a high number of members.
