Description One of the main features of the seventh scientific conference of IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements) was the strength with which the developing countries entered into the agro-ecology debate. About half the 500 delegates who gathered at Ouagadougou from January 2 to 5 this year to consider were African. Even so, scientific agriculture can still appear to be the domain solely of the North, which now has to deal with the problems of surplus production and the destruction of the environment by the over-intensive use of chemicals.



But right at the start, the Burkina Faso Minister of Agriculture highlighted potential areas of North-South agreement where opinions currently differ:
