The Spanish society of organic agriculture (EEAS), held its scientific and technical conferences every two years, since 1994, with the objective to establish a framework in which to Exchange results and advances in research on organic food, agriculture and livestock, as well as contribute to the development of the sector, creating a space for dialogue and debate, generator of ideas and future projects. For eight years this Exchange is not limited only to Spain, if not that it has spread to the Latin American area.

IX Congress of the EEAS, to be held in Lleida from 6 to 9 October 2010 and in which the Irta participates as organiser, aims to highlight the contribution of organic farming to the quality and Mediterranean food security. On this, we have still few studies, which is why this Congress aims to act as a stimulus for the production of works on organic farming.

Among the objectives of the Congress are: Exchange of knowledge, results of studies among researchers, technicians and operators; expose, introduce and discuss the consequences of the recent findings of research in ecological agricultural production; discuss on the methods of transfer and application of technological innovations to organic operators, interested parties and other representatives of organizations who support organic farming; and propose policies for organic agricultural production, in terms of quality and food safety based on science.
