ALL ABOUT URGENCI IVth INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM IN KOBE
In face of the economic and social crisis, the world is full of alternatives!
This is the main outcome from
Urgenci’s IVth International Symposium, which
took place
February 18th to 22nd 2010, in
Kobe and the Kansai Area in Japan. This was the first time that Urgenci’s Symposium and General Assembly was held outside Europe. This represents indeed a major change, which gave us the opportunity to foster and strengthen the internationalization of our network.
Urgenci International Symposium included the following three main events:
1- An Organic Tour to the oldest and most representative Teikei. It took place on Feb. 18th to 19th. You can have some insights about this tour when reading the
diary an American participant held during the Symposium (

2- The International Symposium itself was held Feb. 20th and 21st, in Kobe Gakuen University. Most of the documents from the plenary sessions and working groups can be found on the pages dedicated to this event (visit "Kobe 2010" -pages). There were numerous
”stories from the field”.
Elizabeth Henderson managed to compile many of these stories from the field into a her contribution, "
the World of Community Supported Agriculture".
Finally, you may also now read one of the major outcomes of the Symposium, the
Kobe Declaration.
3- The Urgenci General Assembly was held Feb. 22nd in Kobe Gakuen University. During the General Assembly, a new International Committee was elected.
