Established in 1926, International Green Week is an international exhibition for the food, agricultural and horticultural industries. IGW also is the point of origin for the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA) with more than 65 departmental ministers. Producers from all over the world come to IGW to test market food and luxury items and reinforce their brand image. Renewable resources, organic agricultural and products, Fair Trade, rural development and gardening continue to gain importance at International Green Week. The IGW also features commercial and non-commercial agricultural, forestry, and landscaping exhibits. Changing annual themes typically include such topics as renewable resources or scientific livestock breeding and production. These trade show elements are of particular interest to those involved in the developing markets of central and eastern Europe.
