Board changes at IFOAM's World Board

Abstract

Vanaja Ramprasad, the director of India's Green Foundation, was recently elected to the ten-member World Board of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). She has a passionate interest in what she describes as “the real reasons for third world poverty and hunger”. In this interview with John Paull she explains her dedication to the cause of organics: : "My interest in the work was inspired by the deep desire to understand the reasons for the disconnect I saw between the food system and the distancing of the very people who produced it". She declares that organics offers "the only future if the planet is to survive".
