‘Shaping Transformation. Stronger. Together.’ will be the theme of the 2021 Biofach Congress, which will run alongside next year’s edition of the world’s biggest organic trade event (17-20 February, Nuremberg, Germany).
The congress will focus on how the food system revolution can make even more progress if the various movements for transformational change work together. It is being organised by IFOAM – Organics International, the international patron of Biofach World, and BÖLW (German Federation of Organic Food Producers), the national institutional sponsor, in partnership with Biofach).
The co-organisers say that the “Stronger. Together.” message resonates even more strongly in current highly unusual circumstances. And they say, with more than six months to go before the next pairing of the Biofach and Vivaness trade fairs, the sector is demonstrating outstanding commitment to its annual central sector gathering.
Danila Brunner, executive director Biofach and Vivaness, comments: “This trade fair pairing is the central platform for the organic food products and natural organic and personal care sector to interact, share knowledge and do business, especially at times like these. We are currently pulling out all the stops to prepare for the next combined event in 2021. That includes many measures to ensure the greatest possible safety for all participants, based on the special hygiene plans developed for this trade fair pairing (www.biofach.de/hygieneconcept and www.vivaness.de/hygieneconcept). We are confident that this will enable us to offer all our customers both safety and the level of success they know and appreciate from previous sector gatherings at Biofach and Vivaness.
“In the current situation we have been very impressed by the many ways in which the sector is already showing us the depth of its solidarity and commitment. We are very happy that exhibitors have already booked.
“75% of the available exhibition space. That shows us just how valuable and important they consider their annual sector gathering to be. We are already looking forward to catching up again with exhibitors, visitors and media representatives at the next combined event in 2021.”
