From 11 to 14 February 2025, international players will gather in Nuremberg, Germany, to explore the future of the organic food industry. BIOFACH, hosted at the NürnbergMesse exhibition centre, will focus on key topics in the organic sector, particularly retail and catering.
Sustainability in out-of-home catering organic products are still underused in out-of-home catering (OOH) due to issues like limited availability, high costs, and logistical challenges. Yet, this sector holds significant potential for promoting sustainable food practices that benefit both health and the environment. Dr. Marisa Hübner stresses the need for a holistic transformation that merges sustainability, taste, and profitability, especially in places like schools, hospitals, and company canteens.
Although hurdles like unreliable supply chains and rising costs persist, solutions exist.
