The objective of the Society is to integrate the activities of the international research community concerned to understand responses of plants to impeded aeration brought about by a wide variety of means including waterlogging of soil, submergence, space flight, natural tissue impedance, storage conditions and packaging of produce. This objective will be accomplished by means agreed by an Executive Committee that shall include:

a) The organization of a periodic International Conference, ideally every three years.
b) The organization of sessions devoted to plant aeration and related topics at other major international conferences (e.g. International Botanical Congresses).
c) Supporting and encouraging regional meetings and workshops, and publication of papers in refereed journals, books or other media that are generated by the conferences and meetings it arranges.
d) Maintaining a web site devoted to matters relevant to the Society that will include a searchable list of members and their contact details.
e) Promote the involvement of early-career scientists in the activities of the Society.
