Under the congress focus \u201cSecuring Food Systems \u2013 The Organic Way\u201d<\/strong>, the BIOFACH Congress 2027<\/strong> will address how resilient and sustainable food systems can be strengthened through organic agriculture, innovation, and collaboration. A new conference structure featuring five thematic tracks will foster focused discussions on food security, climate resilience, value chains, health, and policy. The congress takes place in Nuremberg from 16 to 19 February 2027.<\/p>\n

How can the organic agriculture and food sector contribute to crisis-proof and sustainable food systems\u2014for example, through climate-resilient farming methods, digital tools for transparent supply chains, or new plant-based protein sources? Under the conference theme \u201cSecuring Food Systems \u2013 The Organic Way,\u201d BIOFACH, the international patron IFOAM \u2013 Organics International, and the national supporting organization B\u00d6LW (German Organic Food Industry Association) are placing this question at the center of the 2027 BIOFACH Congress, which will take place from 16 to 19 February in Nuremberg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate change, declining biodiversity, geopolitical upheavals, and the health consequences of our diets\u2014all of these factors are pushing agriculture and supply chains worldwide to their limits. Simply producing enough food is no longer enough. Food security can only be achieved where environmental responsibility, sustainable diets, and resilient value chains come together.<\/p>\n

For this to succeed, we need a strong, interconnected organic sector\u2014from agriculture and processing to retail, foodservice, and consumers.<\/p>\n

The 2027 BIOFACH Congress will focus on three key questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What truly secures today\u2019s food supply?<\/li>\n
  2. How can organic farming contribute to healthier food systems?<\/li>\n
  3. How can policymakers and markets accelerate this transition?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A new, curated conference concept provides the ideal setting for this.<\/p>\n

    New Conference Structure: Tracks Instead of Forums, More Room for Dialogue<\/h2>\n

    The previous forum program has been replaced by five thematic tracks that reflect key future areas of the organic sector. This provides participants with clear professional guidance and allows them to focus more specifically on the following key topics:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Food Systems Transformation:<\/strong>\u00a0Transformation of food systems: resilience, food security, innovation, and social change.<\/li>\n
    • Advancing Organic Agriculture:<\/strong>\u00a0Further development of organic farming\u2014from soil fertility and biodiversity to climate resilience and innovations in production and value creation.<\/li>\n
    • Retail & Value Chains:<\/strong>\u00a0Trade, processing, brands, supply chains, the role of specialty organic retailers, and new business models along the organic value chain.<\/li>\n
    • Policy & Markets:<\/strong>\u00a0Political conditions, market trends, regulation, certification, and national and international developments.<\/li>\n
    • Food, Health & Impact:<\/strong>\u00a0Nutrition, health, planetary health, plant-based diets, longevity, and scientific findings on the impact of sustainable food systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Science is no longer a standalone program area, but rather runs through all tracks as a cross-cutting theme. The SustainableFutureLab, the interactive think tank, is being expanded and will open up even more opportunities for unconventional approaches, bold ideas, and controversial discussions.<\/p>\n

      With its new concept, the BIOFACH Congress 2027 is positioning itself as the premier gathering place for everyone who wants to actively shape the future of food.<\/p>\n
