I like the way Fran Fischler, President of the IFAJ Congress 2008, started his remarks at the end of the event.
“Everything has already been said but not by everybody.” He then proceeded to thank all the people who worked to make this Congress a reality, including all the sponsors.
He pointed out how different farming is around the world. Speaking of the small farms in Austria and Slovenia he said, “I think you have a feeling now that this way of farming can also be successful.” He said that we need to accept that in our world there are many different ways to farm.
