agree  Thomas Pfann: Might 'independent' work as another option for 'verbandsübergreifend'? (an independent and international platform)
10 hrs
  -> Hi Thomas. I wouldn't, as independent in English cetrainly does indicate a specific sector.

platform cutting across nations and industrial affiliations


Explanation:
Hoping this is cultivated enough for my critical peers..

The XX association provides a platform cutting across nations and industrial affiliations for all aspects of organic farming.

Compare wording with this:

"Thus, the field of multimedia was established as a platform cutting across the technically oriented sectors and groups of the research laboratories".
