BIOFACH from 2027: Organic as the core, future topics in the food sector complement the profile

As the world's leading trade fair for organic food, it will remain true to its core values while also opening up to selected future topics relating to sustainable nutrition. Dominik Dietz, Director BIOFACH explains why this step is necessary and what opportunities the trade fair will open up for the sector, the market, and the discourse.

• The first range of products to be expanded at BIOFACH 2027 is Fair Trade.
• Even more space for key transformation topics in the future-proof food industry thanks to a clearly structured and curated congress and supporting program.
• As a value-oriented meeting place for organic and future-proof food, BIOFACH offers guidance in a complex, changing market environment.

Non‑Food

Products that are not edible and not cosmetics, but still belong in the broader organic/sustainable lifestyle space.

Typical examples include: household goods, cleaning products, reusable items, textiles (non‑fashion), sustainable home or kitchen products, packaging solutions, accessories that support food handling or storage.

These exhibitors are being moved into Hall 9 from 2027.

Near‑Food

Products that are not food, but sit close to food in terms of use, consumption context, or retail adjacency. Think of items you’d find near food shelves in a supermarket. 

Examples include: supplements, vitamins, functional products, teas and herbal infusions (if not classified as food), food‑adjacent wellness items.
