brings the valorization of European organic to the center of SANA Food and Rivoluzione BIO.
An institutional exhibition space, the organization of events, thematic workshops and opportunities for meeting and networking. The three-year project, born from the collaboration between FederBio and Naturland and co-financed by the European Union, continues the path of promoting organic at SANA Food and Rivoluzione Bio.
Being organic in Eu, the campaign that aims to promote an ethical, healthy, climate- and ecologically resilient agri-food system by enhancing the characteristics of organic farming, will meet at SANA Food 2025 and Rivoluzione BIO to take stock of the progress and evolution of the sector.
With 2.5 million hectares cultivated with organic methods and a percentage of organic UAA that is almost 20%, about double the European average, Italy confirms itself among the countries that are driving the agroecological transition. Italy also holds the record for the number of organic producers, over 84,191, and for processors, almost 25,000, out of a total share in Europe of 94,627.
In the institutional area of Being Organic in Eu at Sana Food (Hall 18 Stand D49-D54), it will be possible to learn more about all the initiatives implemented to spread the values and benefits of agricultural production that does not use synthetic chemicals to protect soil fertility, safeguard biodiversity and combat climate change.
Among the key events promoted by Being Organic in Eu, the sixth edition of Rivoluzione Bio, the general states of organic, which bring together institutions, experts, operators and professionals to analyze the evolution of the sector, explore the most relevant issues and discuss the crucial role that organic is assuming in Italian agriculture. Starting at 10 am, in the Sala Opera of Pavilion 18, there will be a series of in-depth sessions, analyses and debates on the future of organic.
Another event not to be missed is the technical seminar “Biocontrol: the commitment of the sector for a harmonized regulatory framework and more competitive organic agriculture”. In this context, the strategic importance of bioprotection in addressing the challenges related to the climate crisis and new plant diseases will be explored. The meeting, sponsored by the European project, will be held on Monday 24 February at 2 pm at the Lab Academy of SANA Food.
Being Organic in Eu will also organize moments of meeting and networking at the institutional stand and in the Buyers Lounge dedicated to operators in the sector, to encourage the creation of synergies between organic players. These are activities carried out as part of the Being Organic in Eu campaign promoted by FederBio in collaboration with Naturland and co-financed by the European Union pursuant to EU Reg. n.1144/2014.
“Organic is taking on an increasingly important role in the Italian agri-food sector – underlined Paolo Carnemolla, Secretary General of FederBio – This achievement is also the result of the commitment of the initiatives promoted by Being Organic in Eu aimed at promoting the values of European organic and supporting the growth of the sector. In a context in which sustainability and environmental protection have become fundamental issues, the activities supported by the European campaign have contributed to consolidating synergies between operators in the sector and raising awareness among citizens on the benefits of organic not only in terms of health, but also of ecological impact”.
