2011 International Farm Management Congress
The IFMA is an international body of about 400 members primarily academics, consultants, advisors, farmers, government, administrators and policy analysts. The common thread running through the membership is an interest in farm management. The IFMA has held Congresses in many countries starting with Warwick in the UK in 1971. Although a Congress is held in a particular country, the purpose of the Congress is to bring people together from around the world to discuss and debate issues, to share experiences and to learn from each other. The Congress is not just about New Zealand! The IFMA has its own website (www.ifmaonline.org) as does the Local Organising Committee for the 18th Congress (www.ifma18.org). This document sets out the process to follow for those interested in submitting a paper for the 18th Congress. The theme is “Thriving in a global world - Innovation, Co-operation & Leadership”
As is usual in Congresses there are a number of sub themes being:
1. The environment
2. Education & training
3. Farm management
4. Business & finance
5. Marketing & Trade
6. Innovation & Leadership
The Congress is looking for papers around the theme and that fall into one of the subthemes.
