Aims to bring growers together so that through this alliance we have the ability to promote our interests, wherever matters affecting our work are determined, and the means to benefit individually and collectively from opportunities to share our experience of growing and of all that goes with it. We will seek to represent the interests of organic growers generally where those interests are influenced or affected, and in particular to the following bodies:

• DEFRA
• ACOS
• Certifiers
• Research organisations e.g. HDRA, HDC
• Regional support centres

The Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) is an international network of ecovillages, administratively divided into three autonomous regions:

• ENA: The Ecovillage Network of the Americas. ENA is further divided into 9 regions covering the Western Hemisphere from Canada to South America.
• GEN-Europe, which is organized nationally with about 20 national networks active at this time.
• GENOA, or GEN Oceania/Asia, which has national networks in Australia, New Zealand, Philippines and Sri Lanka and evolving networks in Japan, India and other countries of the region.

GEN's primary purpose is information exchange among the thousands of projects across the world that are building and living in small intentional and traditional communities in harmony with nature, as well as information dissemination to the larger world. GEN does this with seminars, newsletters, educational programs at many ecovillages, and an active website with easily accessible contact addresses of members, resource lists, and links to related activities. GEN has consulting status with the United Nations agency ECOSOC.
