BIOFACH Congress 2025: Yes, we do! – How to effect change in the organic food segment
Three key levers for a secure food supply: sustainability as determining factor in the financial landscape, public sector as a driver for more organic food and using compelling stories to market organic food
The global food supply is under significant pressure due to environmental destruction and economic uncertainty. The congress at the forthcoming BIOFACH 2025, which takes place in Nuremberg from 11 to 14 February, will highlight the solutions offered by the organic food industry and the approaches that could potentially drive the sector forward.
Under the banner “Yes, we do!”, the congress theme of BIOFACH 2025 underscores the fact that the organic sector is a pioneer in the food industry not just in theory, but in day-to-day practice – and with complete dedication and conviction. The congress is also inviting all interested parties to submit proposed topics for the event via the “Call for Ideas”. The discussion about the impact of food on the environment is highly topical. In its “Consumer Monitor Sustainability 2024”, the German Retail Federation (HDE) revealed that a third of respondents were not aware of the correlation.
As Ravi R. Prasad, Executive Director of IFOAM Organics International, emphasises: “Amidst the urgency of global challenges like the climate crisis and food security, the organic sector is presenting workable solutions. Ecological practices not only offer an alternative, but also a proven route to resilience and sustainability worldwide.”
Tina Andres, Chair of the German Federation of Organic Food Producers (BÖLW), adds: “Organic practices have an immense potential for sovereign, sustainable and future-proof food systems, which are currently facing enormous challenges. All players in the ecological value chain must adapt, reinforce and clarify their responses and demands to the community and policymakers. The congress theme for 2025 is an invitation to work together on effective policies for change. In this context, green finance, institutional catering and communication are the key levers.”
