Tony Worth newly-elected EISA-chairmanEISA (Bonn): Tony Worth, farmer in the UK, has been elected as the new EISA chairman during the members assembly in December 2007. He has taken over the post from Heinrich Kemper MdL. However, together with two other farmers, Gerard Marmasse from France as vice-chair and Lucien Clesse from Luxembourg as treasurer, Kemper will continue his support for EISA's work as second vice-chairman of the EISA Board. Tony Worth has been working within LEAF, the national member of EISA in the UK, and within EISA itself for years. Following his unanimous election, he pointed out his vision for EISA and the role of Integrated Farming in Europe. "We need to close the gap between the farming community and society, we need to inform media, politicians and the general public about modern sustainable agriculture. The EISA demonstration Farm Network and the EISA Integrated Farming Framework are valuable assets for our communication." During his first year in office, one major event will be the EISA Farmers Exchange in 2008 in the area of Hildesheim, close to Hanover, Germany, in September 2008. For the first time, this annual exchange will be supported by EU-Commission. Details of this event will be posted on the EISA website www.sustainable-agriculture.org in due course. The European Initiative for Sustainable Development in Agriculture e.V. (EISA) is an association of six European organisations. EISA was founded in 2001 by FARRE (Forum de L'Agriculture RaisonnÈe Respectueuse de L'Environnement, France), FILL (Fördergemeinschaft Integrierte Landbewirtschaftung, Luxemburg), FNL (Fördergemeinschaft Nachhaltige Landwirtschaft, Germany), L'Agricoltura che Vogliamo (today: ASNAI, Associazione Nazionale Agricoltura Integrata, Italy), LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming, U.K.) and Odling i Balans (Sweden) to promote Integrated Farm Management on a European level. |
