Nordic-Baltic scientific conference 15-17th June 2026, Uppsala, Sweden

Organics as a response to the urgent need for resilient food systems

The aim of the conference is to share and discuss recent research outcomes within organic food and farming and its societal interactions, related to the urgent topic of creating a more resilient food system. We welcome researchers, stakeholders and policymakers to take active part in the discussions.

About the conference

Resilience refers to a system’s capacity to withstand or adjust to changes imposed by the surrounding environment. In a world challenged by crises such as war, pandemics, climate change, biodiversity loss, finite nature resources, economic and political fluctuations, demographic shifts and rapidly changing market trends, building resilient food systems has never been more urgent. These external pressures affect the entire food system through all the stages of food production and consumption.
