Towards the Organic Food Forum: New platform to shape the future of organic business 14 November, online

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Organic Food Forum, a new event designed to bring together key players in the organic business sector. This initiative merges two well-established events — the Organic Food Conference and IFOAM Organics Europe Meets Business — into one powerful platform.

What is the Organic Food Forum?

The Organic Food Forum is set to officially launch as a large-scale physical event in November 2025. It wants to provide a space for organic businesses to connect, collaborate, and explore opportunities in the organic sector.

To prepare for its first edition, we are hosting an invitation-only pilot webinar ‘Towards Organic Food Forum’ on 14 November 2024. This exclusive webinar will gather feedback from a select group of stakeholders and will allow participants to influence the content and structure of the future forum, ensuring it meets the ever-evolving needs of organic businesses

Stay connected

While the webinar Towards Organic Food Forum is invitation-only, the entire sector can look forward to more opportunities to engage and participate, for example at one of our many sessions at BIOFACH 2025 and our European Organic Congress in Denmark in August 2025.

Stay tuned for updates so you can engage with the leaders shaping the organic business landscape in Europe!

We are joining the global organic community at the Organic World Congress, you too? 30 November-6 December, Taiwan

In a few weeks we will join the global organic movement at the IFOAM Organic World Congress (OWC) – a once-in-three-years opportunity to connect, share groundbreaking innovations, and shape the future of organic farming globally. As IFOAM Organics Europe, we are contributing to this year’s edition of the OWC, both with sessions focussing on EU organic and at
the IFOAM – Organics International General Assembly.

Global organic movement’s General Assembly
On 5-6 December, the global organic movement holds its General Assembly, an important moment in our organisations where the members democratically express their voice.

Can’t attend the IFOAM Organics International General Assembly in person? Assign a proxy to vote on your behalf! As we are sending a delegation, we are happy to act as your proxy to ensure your voice is heard (or your vote is cast). Whether you attend in person or assign a proxy, your input is essential to shaping the future of the global organic movement. For step-by-step instructions on assigning a proxy, please contact [email protected].

Our contributions: Side event and session speakers
As IFOAM Organics Europe we will play an active role throughout the Congress, leading discussions, hosting sessions, and sharing our expertise on topics critical to Europe’s organic sector. For example:
1 December 2024: Organic and Regenerative: together towards the future and beyond?
