The European Organic Congress by IFOAM, with the title “Organic’s contribution to the European Green Deal”, aims this year to inspire the participants by focusing on how the agri-food sector’s initiatives enhance the transition towards a more sustainable food system, through the aid of leading examples from representatives and experts amidst the organic sector. The New EU Organic Regulation 848/2018 will also be explored, while focusing on its implications for the objective of 25% EU organic land by 2030. We will dive deep into how organic districts, living labs and farm demonstrations contribute to rural development and the success of the Organic Action Plan. Moreover, organic’s contribution to climate change mitigation, with the EU Green Deal, the Biodiversity and Farm to Fork strategies and last but not least, the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) will be key themes for the Congress’ debates.

“Celebrating Fresh” at the 2014 New York Produce Show
Held December 2-4 in Manhattan with focus on products, services and building relationships
A great convergence of fresh produce buyers and sellers is set to take place in Manhattan with the 5th annual New York Produce Show and Conference, being held December 2-4 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
The trade show will feature more than 400 exhibiting companies, providing what organisers say will be an opportunity for buyers to meet and interact with the industry’s finest produce and floral suppliers and leading service providers, and to discover new product sources and services.
Representing a diverse group of vendors, they will range from local growers to national shippers of produce and floral products, from regional wholesale groups to broadline distributors, and from international importers/exporters to transportation and technical-service providers.
Presented by the Eastern Produce Council and Produce Business magazine, the three-day event also includes networking opportunities, a retail “thought-leader” panel hosted by Perishable Pundit Jim Prevor, educational micro-sessions and tours of the region’s vibrant industry, including local retailers, wholesalers, foodservice distributors and urban farms and unique eateries.
The theme of the main conference is “Celebrating Fresh” and back by popular demand are two mini conferences: the Global Trade Symposium on Tuesday, December 2, and the Foodservice Forum “Ideation Fresh” on Thursday, December 4.
