Anuga 2025: New genetic engineering – What is in store for "Ohne Gentechnik" and organic products?

The new regulations for genetically modified food in the EU are now in their critical phase. Will transparency for consumers be maintained? What does the future hold for the food industry, especially the organic and conventional "Ohne Gentechnik" sectors? Where and how can companies still exert influence to draw the attention of political decision-makers in Berlin and Brussels to the great economic importance of a functioning GMO-free food industry – and to what is urgently needed to preserve it?

Eric Gall from the European organic umbrella organisation IFOAM, Fritz Konz from retailer Tegut, Wolfgang Ahammer from vegetable oil manufacturer VFI Oils for Life and attorney-at-law and genetic engineering law expert Dr Georg Buchholz will debate these issues at the panel discussion "New rules for new GMOs: What is in store for the organic and conventional Non-GMO sector?" moderated by Heike Moldenhauer from the European "Ohne Gentechnik" association ENGA on the opening day of the Anuga fair on the "Organic Stage". The debate will be held in English, with German translation available on site. Participation is free of charge for all Anuga visitors. Registration is not required.
