IGA 2027 International Future Conferences

How do we want to live tomorrow?

In the run-up to the 2027 International Garden Exhibition (IGA), a new international conference series is launching online. Held twice a year, these events bring together people from around the world to discuss a key question: „How do we want to live Tomorrow?“ 

Each conference focuses on a forward-looking topic related to urban development, the environment, and community. International speakers, creative minds, and thought leaders will share their insights and discuss with you how cities can be made greener, healthier, and more livable. 

2 November 2026

Free online conference for a sustainable urban future

1:00–3:30 p.m. (CET)

Topic: Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Agriculture is at the frontline of climate change. Increasing droughts, extreme weather events, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss are challenging food production systems around the world. This conference explores how regenerative agriculture, agroecology, and innovative land management practices can help create resilient farming systems that restore ecosystems, strengthen food security, and adapt to a changing climate.

Here's what you can expect:

  • Three inspiring keynote speeches by international experts

  • Best-practice examples from regenerative and climate-resilient agriculture

  • New perspectives and concrete ideas for action

  • Interactive sessions and live discussions

  • Real-time visualizations of conference content (graphic recording)

  • An open, free platform for exchange and learning

Keynotes 

Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Regenerative Agriculture for a Climate-Resilient Future

How can agriculture become part of the solution to climate change? Benedikt Bösel presents practical experiences from Gut & Bösel in Brandenburg, where regenerative farming methods are being used to restore soil health, improve water retention, and strengthen ecosystem resilience.

His keynote will explore how healthy soils can increase agricultural productivity while simultaneously contributing to climate adaptation and carbon sequestration.

About Benedikt Bösel

Benedikt Bösel is a farmer, entrepreneur, and founder of Gut & Bösel in Brandenburg, Germany. He is internationally recognized for his work in regenerative agriculture and innovative approaches to soil restoration and landscape resilience. Through practical research and implementation, he demonstrates how farming systems can be transformed to meet ecological and economic challenges alike.

Agroecology and Sustainable Development in Times of Climate Change

Climate adaptation requires more than technological innovation. Antonio Inácio Andrioli highlights the role of agroecological approaches in creating sustainable and resilient agricultural systems that support both environmental and social development.

Drawing on international experience, he discusses how diversified farming systems can improve resilience, strengthen local communities, and contribute to food sovereignty in a changing climate.

About Antonio Inácio Andrioli

Antonio Inácio Andrioli is an expert in sustainable agriculture, agroecology, and rural development. His work focuses on climate-adapted agricultural systems, ecological transformation, and sustainable development strategies that balance environmental stewardship with social and economic needs.

Building Healthy Soils for Resilient Farming Systems

Healthy soils are the foundation of resilient agriculture. Elizabeth Kaiser shares insights and experiences from Singing Frogs Farm in California, one of the world's leading examples of regenerative farming.

Her keynote explores how practices such as no-till farming, cover cropping, and biodiversity-based management can improve soil fertility, water retention, and farm resilience while reducing environmental impacts.

About Elizabeth Kaiser

Elizabeth Kaiser is co-owner of Singing Frogs Farm in California, USA. Together with her team, she has pioneered regenerative farming methods focused on soil building, biodiversity enhancement, and sustainable food production. Her work has become an internationally recognized example of how ecological farming can successfully address climate and environmental challenges.
