We are proud to be a partner of the AöL (Assoziation ökologischer Lebensmittelhersteller e. V.), the Association of Organic Food Producers. As a leading network of over 70 organic food companies in Germany and Europe, AöL plays a key role in shaping sustainable food policies, sharing best practices, and promoting organic innovation. Through this partnership, we contribute to a stronger, more resilient organic sector and collaborate on forward-looking initiatives in food.

At Nana Bio, we believe that generational renewal in the organic sector requires courage, passion, and long-term vision. That’s why we proudly sponsor BioJong — a dynamic youth network founded by Josefien van Marlen and Christianne de Kort. BioJong brings together young thinkers and doers who are shaping the future of organic with fresh ideas, rooted in Organic values. As a sponsor, Nana Bio hereby aims to support the next generation in developing leadership, building connections, and driving innovation across the organic movement. Because without youth, there can be no renewal and no truly sustainable future.

Ronald van Marlen, the General Director of NaNa Bio B.V., has been one of the initiators, long-time supporters and member of the OPTA. The OPTA is the voice of the EU organic processing and trade companies. OPTA’s key mission is to lead and coordinate the dialogue among the combined European and international organic processors and traders and to defend the common interests of members towards the relevant national, European, international authorities and stakeholders in all policy areas affecting them. OPTA also works as a networking platform for its members to exchange information, expertise and best practice.

IFOAM Europe

Nana Bio B.V. is the proud main sponsor of IFOAM Europe (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements). We feel it is crucial for us and all other organic companies and organizations to support IFOAM since they serve as one of the most influencial global advocates and platforms for organic agriculture. They foster collaboration and anchor the principles of organic farming in Europe and outside of Europe. Here are some key reasons for such an organization to support IFOAM:

Global representation: IFOAM provides a unified voice for the global organic community. By supporting IFOAM, the organization aligns itself with an international body that represents the interests and values of the organic sector on a global scale.

This allows the organization to stay updated on the latest developments, innovations, and research within the organic sector, fostering continuous improvement and growth.

By supporting IFOAM, the organization actively participates in shaping policies that align with its values, contributing to a more favorable regulatory environment for organic businesses.
