BIOFACH 2026 – World’s Leading Trade Fair for Organic Food, Nuremberg, Germany
Overview
BIOFACH 2026 is the undisputed global benchmark for the organic food industry, held annually at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg. Since its inception in 1990, it has served as the central meeting point for producers, retailers, and political decision-makers dedicated to sustainable agriculture. The 2026 edition centers on the powerful theme “Growing Tomorrow: Young Voices, Bold Visions,” placing a spotlight on the next generation of “changemakers” who are reimagining the organic sector within planetary boundaries.
