Biofach 2025 is dedicated to the transformation of the organic food industry. The accompanying congress will highlight key topics such as sustainable financing, organic food in public catering and innovative retail strategies.
Biofach, the world's leading trade fair for organic food, will take place in Nuremberg from 11 to 14 February 2025. At the same time, the Biofach Congress under the motto „Yes, we do! - How change can succeed in the organic food industry“ will provide a platform for dialogue on sustainable developments and innovative solutions in the industry.
Main topics of the congress
The congress consists of seven thematic forums and is complemented by a comprehensive supporting programme. Focal points include the development of the organic market, political framework conditions, sustainability and Future trends in retail and out-of-home catering.
Sustainable financing is a key topic. At the event „SOLD! The financial future of agri-food systems“, moderated by the Good Food Collective, industry representatives will discuss innovative financing models for agricultural and food systems. In addition, the session „Sustainability-weary consumers? Better communication, green marketing, attitude - selling organic more successfully“ will examine the current challenges in addressing consumers.
Organic in public catering
The importance of organic in the Out-of-home catering will be the subject of a special area in Hall 6 and in the STADTLANDBIO forum. One focus is on the EU project „SchoolFood4Change“, which presents approaches for healthy and sustainable school catering. The topic will be complemented by the event „Organic Cities Network - Organic food and the decisive role of public procurement“, in which best-practice examples from various countries will be presented.
Live presentations and cookery demonstrations, including the Bioland format „Farm to table in the Michelin-starred kitchen“ with Sebastian Junge from the Slow Food Chef Alliance, offer practical insights into the implementation of organic concepts in the catering trade.
Innovations in the organic food trade
The Specialist Retail Forum highlights current challenges and opportunities for the organic trade. In the presentations „’AI‘ as a success factor? How organic shops can utilise new technology for their own purposes...“ and „Smart & Green: How AI reveals the organic shoppers of the future“ will analyse the role of artificial intelligence in retail.
Another key topic is the market opportunities for organic products. Events such as „How much organic is possible in SEH today? Who delivers?“ and „Organic in food retail: Where are the current opportunities for full-range retailers and branded companies?“ examine current developments and prospects for the food retail sector.
Market figures, trends and start-ups
The Biofach Congress offers a comprehensive overview of current market trends. Current developments will be presented in the sessions „The German Organic Market - Facts, Figures, Analysis 2025“ and „Global Organic Market“.
