Synopsis (short abstract) In January 2007, a Call for Papers was put out in preparation for the International Conference on Organic Agriculture and Food Security, 3-5 May, to be held at FAO Headquarers in Rome, Italy. Over the course of 3 months, 115 papers related to organic agriculture and food security were submitted by farmers, students, researchers and civil society organizations. This overwhelming response of amazing stories reflects the effort of people around the globe who believe in organic agriculture and its capacity to contribute to improved food security. Of all the valuable contributions submitted, approximately half were selected by the Conference Steering Committee and are presented in this compilation. Papers were selected on the basis of the number of people/farmers involved with the case studies, the scope of the work, the inclusion of empirical observations and scientific experiments and on the link made between organic agriculture and food security.
