The International Partners for Sustainable Agriculture (IPSA) was created as a program of EarthVoice to promote organic production and to stop the spread of factory farms abroad. Led by Ms. Linda Elswick, IPSA works with farmers around  the world who understand the importance of organic farming and the need for the humane treatment of farm animals. In addition, IPSA has been a global leader acting as an advocate for the concerns of organic and sustainable farmers. These policies and concerns are communicated to the principal national and multilateral organizations that are setting standards and shaping the future on these issues.
