The ECO-READY project aims at identifying climate-change drivers affecting food security and biodiversity across Europe. Different resilient scenarios will be developed and tested by a network of 10 Living Labs for a two-year period. An open call for the Living Labs selection will be launched on the 1st of June 2023, in Brussels. The agenda of the event and the link to the subscription form can be found here.
ECO-READY is an interdisciplinary project gathering 18 European partners which was launched in December 2022 for a four-year duration. The role of IFOAM Organics Europe is to engage organic stakeholders in the project, and ensure the developed and tested scenarios will provide best practice knowledge for a climate-resilient development of the organic sector.

Save the date for this year’s edition of TP Organics’ Organic Innovation Days, which will take place in Brussels on 25-26 October. Under the theme “Citizen-driven transformation of European food systems”, we will explore the role of citizens in making our food systems more sustainable, as well as the potential of organic to contribute to long-term food security.
The first day of the event will take place on 25 October, from 10:00 to 14:00, at BluePoint Brussels. It will be dedicated to the EU Mission on soil health, “A Soil Deal for Europe”, with a series of presentations and a high-level, interactive panel debate about how the mission, and the sustainable land management practices it supports, in particular organic and agroecological farming, can contribute to food security. The event will include a discussion with the audience and a networking lunch. Take this unique opportunity to meet and exchange with members of TP Organics, organic stakeholders, and policymakers!
In the afternoon of Day 1, the TP Organics Stakeholder Forum will be held as a space for more in-depth conversation among the members of TP Organics, including about the latest innovations, policy developments at European level, challenges faced by the organic sector, and potential ways forward.
The second day will take place at Herman Teirlinck Gebouw, Brussels. For this day, TP Organics partners with the European research project FoodSHIFT 2030, the final conference of which will be held on this day. From 10:00 to 16:00, there will be a series of panel debates under the title: “The path to sustainable food systems”. The first two debates will focus on the FoodSHIFT 2030 project, with a review of their results through the lenses of the EU Farm to Fork strategy and FOOD 2030, and how FoodSHIFT 2030 has supported food system transformation. The subsequent debates will explore citizen empowerment for food system transformation through participatory methods, what we really mean by less meat, and how future city regions can activate and implement food system transformation.

The international exhibition for organic products Natexpo is stepping up preparations to welcome organic professionals in October 2023.
To date, more than 1,400 exhibitors and brands have already signed up to attend this next session. Also worth noting is a significant increase in the non-French contingent. In this very particular year for the sector, expectations are running high!
In 2023, Natexpo will once again be the point of convergence for organic trends. This is evidenced by around 100 exhibitors who have already registered in one of the show’s seven villages to bring visitors a concentrate of innovation. These villages will offer a wide range of products encompassing food, cosmetics, dietary supplements, ingredients, eco-products, eco-services and retail equipment. Among these sparkling finds feature a number of foreign companies from all over Europe (Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom).
In 2023, the exhibition’s international reach is consolidating and intensifying!
With a 160% increase compared with the 2015 figure, Natexpo is once again registering a substantial increase in its number of international exhibitors, who now account for more than a quarter of the show. From a content perspective, the “International mornings” held on the Agora in the middle of the exhibition will focus on foreign organic markets, their relations with France and international market trends. Another new development the debut participations at Natexpo of a German pavilion with 14 exhibitors, and of the Spanish organic production trade association Ecovalia, also in a pavilion.
As an exclusive hub for connections between French exhibitors and the international organic market, the “BtoB meetings” organised in partnership with Business France will give French exhibitors the opportunity to make business appointments with targeted foreign buyers. This year, two cosmetics purchasers will be attending the show for the first time to meet French brands.
