It is based on the conviction that organic is the only way to take serious responsibility for the next generation and their living environment - and therefore should not represent a privilege. That's why the company is committed to ensuring that babies and toddlers around the world have access to organic food as standard. “High-quality, natural and healthy food should be available to all babies and small children. Our goal is to establish organic quality in baby food as an international benchmark – a gold standard that has been trusted for decades and that preserves and protects the health of the little ones and the future of our planet,” emphasizes Stefan Hipp. – Stefan Hipp, Managing partner of HiPP-Gruppe and organic farmer #BIOFACH #pavingpath #voicesoforganic

The way we eat is evolving, and the future of food is here! 🚀 Current trend studies from Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft, Mintel, Innova Market Insights and Zukunftsinstitut GmbH identified the food trends for 2025. The experts agree: Holistic health, sustainable value creation and plant-based food are strongly influencing the food market. 👉 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Consumers are prioritising local, seasonal, and transparent supply chains. This offers organic brands a chance to lead with innovative sourcing and sustainable practices. 👉 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱: Plant-based eating is growing.

𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 How can organic food not only drive sustainability but also redefine the retail experience? 🤔 We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Prof. Dr. Stephan Rüschen, a leading expert in food retailing and head of the Retail Management Programme at Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW) in Heilbronn, Germany. He shared fascinating insights into the future of retail and the growing opportunities for organic brands. 💡 Here are some key takeaways from our discussion: 1️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Supermarkets, discounters, and organic retailers need to work together to achieve the ambitious goal of 30% organic food in Germany by 2030. 2️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀: Today’s shoppers are hybrid consumers who seek both affordability and quality. Organic products must deliver both – and more. 3️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: As sustainability competes with affordability, regionality emerges as a critical USP for organic brands. 4️⃣ 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲: A compelling narrative is essential – organic must be about flavour, health, and joy, not compromise. With political and economic shifts reshaping consumer behaviour, organic food is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between sustainability and modern convenience. But how should brands and retailers adapt?
