At BIOFACH 2025, the world’s leading organic trade fair, SEKEM made a bold case for regenerative agriculture — and why organic food is more economically viable than it seems.

While organic products often come with a higher price tag, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that hidden costs in conventional farming — health impacts, environmental damage, and soil degradation — add up to a staggering USD 12.7 tn. SEKEM’s True Cost Accounting model reveals the real economic equation: when factoring in these externalities, organic farming isn't just sustainable, it’s financially smarter.

Showcasing its organic and biodynamic offerings, SEKEM highlighted how regenerative practices combat climate change, food insecurity, and water scarcity. Through its Economy of Love (EoL) model, the company also incentivizes farmers to switch to organic methods by rewarding them with carbon credits, making sustainability a win-win for both producers and the planet.

As the demand for transparency in food production grows, SEKEM is pushing for a shift in how we assess agricultural costs. By exposing the true financial and environmental toll of conventional farming, the company is advocating for a system where sustainability isn’t just an ethical choice, but the most logical one.
