From October 15 to 17, 2009, you will have a meeting with speakers from different countries, who will discuss the opportunities and challenges of  building a sustainble and healthy planet.
 

The domestic markets for organic food in Latin America are presenting strong development. Brazil's 30% annual growth rate is an example of this promising market. The BioFach América Latina and ExpoSustentat Conference aims to support these emerging markets, as a unique discussion and information platform for the organic and sustainble sectors in Latin America.
