Event Details

At IFT Chicago 2024, Nature Bio Foods (NBF), a leader in the import of organic ingredients to Europe, showcased its commitment to sustainability, authenticity, and transparency. This event, pivotal for food science and technology professionals, provided an ideal stage for NBF to engage with global stakeholders.

NBF's exhibit highlighted its robust organic supply chain, which is central to providing traceable and trustworthy organic products, including organic Basmati rice and organic pulses from India. These products are renowned for their authenticity and adherence to the strictest organic standards, demonstrating NBF's capacity to meet the sophisticated needs of food manufacturers who prioritize the source and quality of their raw materials.

A key attraction at the NBF booth was TraceOrigin 360. This advanced technology, evolving from the previously launched TraceOrigin, incorporates virtual reality (VR) into its cloud-based infrastructure, revolutionizing how NBF's partners verify the origins of their organic food ingredients. This system allows users to virtually explore farms and processing facilities around the world, providing an immersive and transparent view of the organic sourcing and production processes. By offering this real-time, interactive experience, TraceOrigin 360 enhances trust and transparency with NBF's B2B clients, allowing them to witness the sustainability and ethical practices firsthand.

This innovative tool not only strengthens relationships with existing partners but also positions NBF as a forward-thinking leader in the organic ingredients market. TraceOrigin 360 highlights NBF's commitment to innovation and transparency, setting a new standard in the industry and reinforcing the trust and confidence that clients place in NBF's supply chain.

Sustainability was a prominent theme at NBF’s presentation. The company proudly detailed its environmental efforts:

•  NBF has generated 438,553 KW of renewable energy through solar panels, highlighting its commitment to reducing environmental impact.

• The company has successfully transitioned 88% of its diesel forklift fleet to battery-operated units, significantly lowering its greenhouse gas emissions.

•  Additionally, the installation of 1,000 solar lights in rural communities not only supports sustainable energy but also improves the quality of life in these areas.

NBF actively participated in discussions on the integration of technology in food safety and quality, as well as the importance of ethical sourcing and fair-trade practices. Success stories from the field were shared, illustrating how NBF's collaborations with local farmers promote sustainable agriculture and economic growth within rural communities.

Through its participation in IFT Chicago 2024, NBF solidified its leadership in the market for organic ingredients from India, emphasizing its drive towards a more sustainable and transparent global food system. The company's engagement at the event facilitated valuable exchanges with industry leaders, policymakers, and consumers, championing a future where the food industry prioritizes both innovation and sustainability.
