What to expect at our Naturland stand?

From February 13th to 16th, Naturland will once again be exhibiting at Biofach in Nuremberg. Together with 55 of its partners from the processing and trade sectors, Naturland will host a 1.900 m² joint stand in hall 7A. More than 200 other Naturland partners can be found in the other exhibition halls.

At the Naturland stand, various theme islands will guide visitors through the world of Naturland:

Right at the entrance, this theme island offers an overview of the origin of Naturland's organic, social and fair trade products from various countries around the world.

Here, experts will provide information on how organic can be successfully implemented in out-of-home catering.

This theme island presents a range of topics closely connected to the topic of sustainability.

Topics at the theme island "Naturland Highlights" include:

  • Naturland Fair: Organic agriculture and fair trade
  • Safeguarding of animal welfare at Naturland
  • Commitment of Naturland farmers in Germany and worldwide to biodiversity: Our central theme for communication in 2024, biodiversity, will be present in various parts of the program
  • Agroforestry: A focus will be on coffee production in East Africa

A new element of the program this year is the “HR area” at the Naturland stand, where Naturland will present itself as employer.

And the project „Being Organic in EU“ will be present with new attractions: A foodtruck, a photobox and a lounge with VR-videos for an immersive view into organic farming.
