BIOFACH 2025: Taking action for ecological change

BIOFACH, World Leading Trade Fair for Organic Food, closes its doors after four successful days. It brought together more than 35,000 visitors from 140 countries between 11 and 14 February 2025. Every second participant came from abroad. They visited around 2,300 exhibitors from 94 countries to find out about the wide range of products on offer in the organic world.

“As Tina Andres said at the press conference on Tuesday, BIOFACH is not just a trade fair for trading, but for taking action as well. This was demonstrated by all participants over the last four days in the exhibition halls and at the congress,” summarizes Dominik Dietz, Director BIOFACH. “The feedback from our customers shows that our new, compact hall structure has worked, as has the expansion of the supporting program. The atmosphere was excellent! Almost 80% of the space has already been booked for 2026. It was impressive to see how solution-oriented and innovative the community is in the face of multiple crises and to feel the strength of the organic sector,” Dietz continued.

BIOFACH 2025 supporting program

The BIOFACH Congress 2025 focused on the theme “Yes, we do! – How to effect change in the organic food segment”. These and other questions relating to the ecological transformation were discussed in 171 individual sessions. Participants particularly appreciated the choice of topics, which were precisely tailored to the needs of the sector. The best-attended panel was “The German organic market - facts, figures and analysis 2025”, with a good 200 interested participants. The focus topic “Yes, we do!” was also reflected in numerous supporting events. Among others, the innovative power could be felt on the newly designed stages, the PRESENTATION STAGE and the INNOVATION STAGE. Countless participants experienced and tasted the product trends at BIOFACH 2025 during the guided tours through the exhibition halls. The topics relating to out-of-home catering were also very popular once again. Best-practice examples were used to give participants a deeper insight into community catering. In the SustainableFutureLab, the sector's pressing issues were discussed in order to find solutions for the transition towards more organic food. Dietz emphasizes: “The two new stages, the conceptual development of the VEGAN world of experience into PLANETARY HEALTH and the expansion of the special area Organic out of home exceeded all expectations. The high frequency on site and the immediate customer feedback show us that we were on point with these topics.”
