IFOAM Organics Europe & Ecovalia is pleased to invite you to the 17th edition of the European Organic Congress (EOC) which will take place on 26-28 September in Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones de Córdoba, in Córdoba, Spain, organized in the context of Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.​

This year’s European Organic Congress provides an invaluable opportunity for participants to engage in meaningful discussions on the most pressing organic topics, exchange knowledge regarding the sector’s current challenges, and be inspired by exemplary case studies and pioneering narratives across various facets of the organic industry. Congress attendees will have the chance to interact with key figures from European organic sectors, including farmers, traders, retailers, certifiers, associations, companies, policy-makers, researchers, and other stakeholders.

Through this year’s numerous panel discussions and breakout sessions, participants will immerse themselves in discussions on pivotal topics, such as organic market trends and challenges, strategies for increasing organic consumption, and generational changes in the organic sector. Additionally, we will delve into the implications of the new CAP 2023-2027 and explore innovations in organic certification, public and private procurement, sustainable breeding, and various other relevant trends within the organic movement.

Registration for the Congress is closed; therefore, we no longer accept new registrations. However, for those who have already registered, we can’t wait to see you at the event! Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter & Instagram @organicseurope & @Ecovalia.

Those participants who had reserved their tickets for the Post-Congress Excursion will have the chance to learn more about the innovation and challenges of organic agriculture in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. The Congress dinner on 26 September at 20:00 offers participants the opportunity to build relations and network with key actors of the sector while experiencing Andalusian cuisine and it will be hosted at the same venue (Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones de Córdoba) where all the sessions take place throughout the day. Please be aware that there has been a change in the dinner location, and as a result, it will no longer be held at Caballerizas Reales.
