NOAN certifies organic farmers and farms and constantly monitors to ensure standardized practices are adhered to at all times.
The Vision of the Association of Organic Agriculture Practitioners of Nigeria is to improve the quality of urban and rural livelihoods through the adoption of organic agriculture in Nigeria.
The Mission of the Association of Organic Agriculture Practitioners of Nigeria is to coordinate and facilitate the development of sustainable organic agriculture related activities in Nigeria.
To vigorously create and increase awareness of organic agriculture in Nigeria.
To enhance capacity building of stakeholders in Nigeria.
Association of Organic Agriculture Practitioners of Nigeria is a non-governmental organization created to serve as an umbrella body for all stakeholders involved in organic agriculture in Nigeria. The secretariat of NOAN is located at the city of Ibadan, Nigeria.
Membership is drawn from farmers, scientists, processors, exporters, individuals, Institutions, NGOs and organizations that are key players in the organic agriculture sector in Nigeria.
Association of Organic Agriculture Practitioners of Nigeria also serves as a link body between organic agriculture stakeholders in Nigeria and international bodies interested in organic agriculture.
As global temperatures rise and weather patterns become more erratic, the intersection between climate change and agriculture is crucial to understanding the role agriculture plays in contributing to and mitigating global warming. Carbon sequestration, lower-input of fossil fuel dependent resources, and use of renewable energy all present opportunities for organic agriculture to lead the way in reducing energy consumption and mitigating the negative effects of energy emissions.
The Association of Organic Agriculture Practitioners of Nigeria, formerly known as Nigeria Organic Agriculture Network (NOAN), gradually evolved as far back as 2008 when some concerned academics met on several occasions at Ibadan to deliberate on the relevance of the newly emerging production system referred to as organic agriculture to agriculture in Nigeria.
