Join Our Sessions

At the BIOFACH Congress, farmers, retailers, scientists, entrepreneurs and processors will come together with economists, activists and policymakers to delve deep into the future of the organic sector. We’ll take part both as speakers and organisers, representing the voices of our members. IFOAM Organics Europe will also contribute to the programme with several sessions zooming in on organic policy, regulation and research. Learn more here.
