Sustainable Foods Summit North America: Jan. 28–29, 2026

Sustainability standards are rising faster than most companies can adapt, making events like the Sustainable Foods Summit North America essential for organic and non-GMO brands. The summit brings regenerative sourcing, traceability technology, and label integrity together with the retailers and ingredient suppliers shaping next year’s shelf space.

The 16th edition of the summit, organized by Ecovia Intelligence for January 28–29, 2026, in San Francisco, will feature four core sessions covering sustainability developments, food ingredients, emerging technologies, and marketing strategies. Sessions focused on sustainable ingredient sourcing and supply-chain transparency speak directly to what upstream suppliers must deliver as organic and non-GMO claims become baseline expectations. Technology-focused sessions, including upcycled ingredients, novel fermentations, and AI-enabled systems, highlight how organic and non-GMO inputs may evolve in next-generation processing and product development.

To maximize value, attendees are encouraged to define their market goals, identify priority sessions, prepare clear sourcing and certification materials, and follow up promptly after the summit.

As organic and non-GMO companies navigate tightening regulations, shifting consumer expectations, and rapidly evolving technology, the Sustainable Foods Summit North America offers a rare combination of foresight and practical strategy. For brands and suppliers committed to leading rather than following the next wave of sustainable food, the summit is more than an event to attend. It is a critical step in shaping competitive advantage for 2026 and beyond.
