Farmers' Dialogue president elected

The Farmers’ Dialogue International Association has just elected its first President. Phil Jefferys, from Australia, who has humbly accepted the votes made by 14 delegates of Farmers' Dialogue (FD) national groups or Associations. He writes: 'It is with a humble heart that I accept this position to work as a servant leader keeping in mind that Farmers' Dialogue has grown out of individual people having a vision and a purpose, in the need to ensure that enough food is produced to feed a global population.'

The next step will be the election of a Committee which will slowly take on the coordination work done by the International Skype Group meeting every month. A General Assembly is already planned at the time of the next International Farmers’ meeting which will take place in DR Congo, South Kivu, 18-21 November 2013.
