The idea is to work as a group on the collection of data for the yearbook The World of Organic Agriculture as well as for regional development planning purposes.
The regional collaboration meeting of the East Asia Forum and a follow-up of the Organic Asia conference in 2008, took place in conjunction with the East Asia conference organised by the Organic World Congress (OWC) 2011 Korean conference organising committee as a run up to the OWC 2011.
The group is coordinated by Keerthi Mohotti, Sri Lanka.
