The future of food

Organic food as a lever for a sustainable transformation of our diet

Food systems around the world need to be transformed in a future-proof way. How can we make the transition to sustainable, organic food from farm to fork? Organic food is one key. Further potential for a sustainable future of the food industry lies, for example, in regenerative and planetary health.

Organic food as a lever for future-proof and sustainable nutrition


Organic food is a central component of a sustainable diet. They promote the preservation of soil fertility, reduce the use of pesticides and contribute to biodiversity. By avoiding chemical fertilizers and using natural cultivation methods, organic food makes an important contribution to environmental and climate protection. In addition to organic food, other sustainable agricultural concepts are also gaining in importance. Regenerative agriculture aims to improve soil fertility through natural processes and minimize environmental pollution. Bio-cyclical agriculture combines organic and cyclical principles to create closed cycles and reduce waste.

Concepts such as the Planetary Health Diet are playing a growing role


The Planetary Health Diet, which is based on a plant-based diet, is becoming increasingly important. It promotes the consumption of vegetables, fruit, nuts and pulses and reduces meat consumption. Alternative proteins such as insects or plant-based meat substitutes offer additional sustainable nutritional options. Global food security is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Organic food plays an important role as it promotes sustainable farming methods and protects the environment. Technology and digitalization, including artificial intelligence (AI), offer innovative solutions to optimize agricultural production and reduce food waste

The sustainable transformation of the food system requires innovation and inspiration along the entire value chain - from the field to the plate. At events such as BIOFACH, these topics are discussed and further developed in exhibition halls, interactive formats, on stages, at the congress and in the SustainableFutureLab.
