Biokreis e.V.

Biokreis is a German organic farming association with deep roots in regional and sustainable agriculture, particularly in Bavaria and other southern German regions. Based in Passau, Biokreis supports farmers and food producers in adopting environmentally friendly practices that respect local ecosystems and regional food cultures. The association emphasizes the importance of regional value chains, encouraging short supply routes that reduce emissions and strengthen local economies. Its certification program sets high standards for animal welfare, soil health, and biodiversity, going beyond the baseline requirements of EU organic regulations. Biokreis works closely with member farmers to provide guidance on organic conversion, farm management, and market access. The association also collaborates with processors, retailers, and food service providers to develop market opportunities for regionally certified organic products. Biokreis is committed to transparency and consumer trust, ensuring that its certification label reflects genuine ecological and social responsibility. Through advocacy and participation in agricultural policy discussions, the organization works to create a more favorable environment for organic and regional farming in Germany.
