| Vision |
Urban agriculture network where Eco11 plays a key role prepares Global Social
Economy Forum along with Women’s Job and Future, Seoul Urban Agriculture
Network, and Seoul Agro-Fisheries & Food Corporation.
There was little effort to regard the urban agriculture as social economy and to secure
sustainability by having social relations even though the urban agriculture in Korea is
rapidly growing quantitatively. We will search for diverse social economy cases of the
urban agriculture through this global forum and find a way to secure sustainability of
the urban agriculture in the social economy.
We will work with the following visions for 5 years.
First, the urban agriculture begins as a social economy,
Second, the urban agriculture grows as a social economy,
Third, the urban agriculture blooms as a social economy,
Fourth, the urban agriculture bears fruit as a social economy,
Fifth, the urban agriculture expands as a social economy. |

| It is mandatory for an operator, including producer and processer, to obtain organic
JAS
certification from a registered certification body by having their operation inspected
in order for their products to claim “Organic” on crops or proceeded foods in Japan.
It is not allowed to put organic JAS marks on the products and/or claim organic if the
operator is not certified to JAS. An operator that illegally labels products is subject to
penalties in line
with JAS law. National organic standards are set as “Japanese Agricultural
Standards (JAS) of Organic plants”, “JAS of Organic Processed Foods”, “JAS of
Oragnic Feeds”, “JAS of Organic Livestock”, JAS standards lay down production/
