France hosts major bioeconomy and organic agriculture events

France is hosting significant industry events focused on bioeconomy and organic agriculture. The Village de la Bioéconomie 2026 took place in Châlons-en-Champagne from August 28 to September 6, serving as a hub for regional cooperation among researchers, farmers, and industrial actors. Discussions centered on European innovation funding, biomass availability, soil health, and renewable gases.

Additionally, the Natexpo 2026 salon is scheduled for September 28-29 at Eurexpo Lyon. The event aims to mobilize the organic sector ahead of the 2027 presidential elections, focusing on price accessibility and political influence. The sector shows signs of recovery, with specialized retail networks seeing a 7% increase since the start of the year, while large-scale distribution maintains moderate growth.
