ICEA looks forward to welcoming you once again at BIOFACH 2026

Biofach, the world’s leading trade fair for organic products, returns to Nuremberg from 10 to 13 February. Once again this year, the event will bring together exhibitors and visitors from across the entire sector, offering a space for dialogue and the sharing of ideas in order to help shape the future of organic.

Come and find ICEA in Hall 4 – Stand 141

The ICEA stand will be a meeting point for visitors and professionals interested in the world of certification: from organic and regenerative agriculture to natural cosmetics.

On 11 February, ICEA is organising two in-depth sessions not to be missed

On the occasion of BIOFACH 2026, ICEA is hosting two important discussion sessions with leading speakers, to continue fostering debate on organic and regenerative agriculture.
The meetings will explore the opportunities offered by integrating these approaches to strengthen sustainability standards, certification systems and the economic value of nature-positive actions.
Organic and regenerative practices go beyond food production, helping to shape the future of beauty, textiles and other non-food supply chains. When combined with organic approaches, regenerative models can offer concrete answers to the challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss and the sustainability of global supply chains.
