May 6, 8:15-9:00: Digital kickoff for Eco-September

For the seventh year in a row, it's time for Eco-September 2025. The month then raises organic added value and the sales of organic food & drinks.

Last year, a record number of activities were organized, and we of course hope to reach the same level, or even better, this year! At the kickoff, we will tell you about what will happen during the campaign and how your company can participate to spread Eco-September and increase eco-sales. Sign up here.

May 12-13: Natural & Organic Products Expo (NOPEX), London

NOPEX has been a central meeting place in Europe for organic products since 1997, with a particular focus on the British market. Every year, thousands of industry players gather – from retailers and restaurants to wholesalers and importers.

To build relationships with primarily British buyers, we come up with Organic Sweden to arrange a pavilion at NOPEX. There we will present the Swedish companies participating in our project Organic Export UK and offers tastings. The concept on which we will build the pavilion is “From our Great Outdoors” where we present added values linked to Sweden and Swedish food production. These are about highlighting natural raw materials and unexploited nature that many British consumers associate with Sweden.

Here you can read more about the fair. There are a few places left. for more companies to join Organic Export UK and also to participate in the NOPEX trade fair in London. Would you like to take the opportunity to showcase your products in the Swedish pavilion? Get in touch with us!

20 August, 14.00-16.00: Kickoff Ekobonde in store & Eko-September

Within the scope of the project More Eco we'll get on Organic Sweden organize 16 Ecofarmers in stores during Eco-September in southern Sweden. This means that an organic farmer comes out to a grocery store for half a day and offers taste samples of organic products and talks about organic added value with customers. The aim is to drive the consumption of eco, by motivating the consumer to move their hand to the organic product on the shop shelf.

Are you a store employee or an organic farmer who wants to take part in the campaign? Then you are warmly welcome to our kickoff at Malmö chokladfabrik. During the kickoff, coffee and a tour of the chocolate factory will be offered. It is possible to participate both physically and digitally. Sign up here.

August 29, at 9-10:30 a.m.: Eco-breakfast at Berte Qvarn i Halland

Within the scope of the project More Eco arranges Organic Sweden a number of eco-breakfasts in southern Sweden. One of these is at Berte Qvarn in Slöinge i Halland. Together with eco-farmer, we highlight the added value of organic farming, as well as present upcoming activities within the More Eko project. Berte Qvarn tells and also shows his mill.

The activity is aimed at those who work in grocery stores, hotels, restaurants and cafes. Here you can read more and register.

18 September, 13.00-14.30: Sustainable food choices, whose responsibility?

With inflation and high interest rates, food prices have come into focus, while sustainability and other added values have fallen into the background. Is the trade a passive actor that is only driven by demand, or a responsible party that can guide the consumer to sustainable choices and organic products? Does it have to be political instruments? And what determines what the consumer ultimately chooses?

These questions and more will be at the center during a panel discussion organized by SLU Organic production and consumption, Epok in collaboration with us at Organic Sweden. More information will come in August. Read more here.
