Specifically, we are adding Hall 7A (German exhibitors) to BIOFACH, while the international segment will expand into Hall 3A. VIVANESS will makes its debut in Hall 3C in 2020. The overall concept offers us and our customers the ideal expansion and configuration options for the future!\u201d<\/p>\n

Key challenges for the future: clean water, fertile soils, biodiversity<\/h3>\n

The conclusions of the scientific studies, including those from Th\u00fcnen Institute, confirm that organic farming offers solutions to the key challenges of the future, such as water protection, maintenance and new creation of fertile soils and the promotion of biodiversity. At the same time, it protects health by ensuring that no harmful products are discharged to soil, water or atmosphere, fights climate change thanks to its greater carbon sequestration and generates income in rural areas thus contributing to its sustainable development.<\/p>\n

Prince Felix of L\u00f6wenstein, <\/strong>Chairman of the German Federation of Organic Food Producers (B\u00d6LW)<\/strong>, says: \u201cThese scientific insights show that organic represents a forward-looking economic system in which prices reflect environmental reality and food production is managed fairly and sustainably. Every hectare of organic land and every organic foodstuff are already making a contribution to a sustainable future for our planet. Organic farming is the way for us to really and effectively transform our foodstuff production\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"BIOFACH<\/p>\n

Louise Luttikholt<\/strong>, IFOAM Organics Int.<\/strong> Executive Director, <\/strong>illustrates that: \u201cOrganic agriculture methods provide inspiration to millions \u2013 from farmers to consumers \u2013 and entire regions to work together to achieve a sustainable future that is fit for our grandchildren to live in. Increasing numbers of farmers are switching to organic agriculture, and more and more people are choosing organic products. But for the organic sector, \u201corganic\u201d means more than positive economic development. Ultimately, it\u2019s all about the fact that we want to show our environment, water, soil, biodiversity, climate and growers the respect they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Congress is the soul of the sector. Here many topics of interest are discussed, such as how politicians can encourage the transformation of agriculture and food culture to a sustainable basis; what policy and communication strategies are the most efficient ones; how organic farming can contribute to the fight against hunger; climate change and desertification; and what is the contribution of organic agriculture to the maintenance of biodiversity.<\/p>\n

With the new app participants will be able to find and access all the information about exhibitors, products and events<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSustainable foodstuff production that does not exceed the limits of what the planet can support, and is embedded in our local communities. Foodstuff production that looks after the environment and provides people with a livelihood at the same time! For us it is important that customers, producers and politicians view the transformation of our eating culture as an opportunity. We must therefore seize it with both hands. Only when we really understand the huge benefits that organic offers will we be able to provide systemic answers, engage in meaningful discussion and give the transformation wings. Within the organic sector, we are also aware of the need to constantly refine organics, invest more in research and training for skilled workers, and commit at a political level to speed up the transformation process\u201d, says Louise Luttikholt. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Prince Felix of L\u00f6wenstein <\/strong>points out that \u201cOrganic agriculture and foodstuff production have a direct impact on all living things, from the smallest microbes in the soil and the animals on our farms to human health and wellbeing. Organic farms all around the world are already showing that it pays to deal carefully with our natural resources. Economy and ecology are not mutually exclusive. On a larger scale we can see that organic plays an important role that enables us in turn to achieve many important goals \u2013 on all levels: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) set by the UN, and also the environmental, climate and animal protection goals set by Germany and the EU.\u201d<\/p>\n
