From 21 to 23 February 2027, BolognaFiere will host SANA Food, the B2B platform dedicated to healthy, sustainable and high‑quality food for the out‑of‑home sector.
At the heart of this year’s edition is Longevity Nutrition, the megatrend reshaping product development and the strategic direction of Horeca, foodservice retail and specialized distribution.
Today, the relationship between food, health and quality of life is driving some of the most significant transformations in the agri‑food sector. This shift is influencing consumption patterns and the assortment strategies of out‑of‑home channels, increasingly oriented toward functional, transparent and nutritionally rich products. In this context, SANA Food stands out as the key B2B event for foodservice and specialized retail professionals.
Alongside its core segments — organic, biodynamic, plant‑based, PDO and PGI products, functional nutrition and sustainable agriculture — the 2027 edition introduces a strategic focus on Longevity Nutrition. By highlighting the role of high‑quality food and sustainable food systems as essential drivers of human health, SANA Food further strengthens its unique positioning within the trade‑fair landscape.
Longevity Nutrition is one of the strongest drivers of innovation in today’s food industry. It aligns with the One Health approach, which connects nutrition, well‑being and sustainability, showing how environmental quality and agricultural practices influence the microbiome, metabolic health and ultimately the healthspan — the years lived in good health.
According to Market Research Future, the Longevity Nutrition and healthy‑aging market is expected to grow from 45 billion USD in 2025 to over 87 billion USD by 2035, confirming a rapidly expanding global interest.
At SANA Food 2027, the topic will be explored through five key supply chains:
- Extra virgin olive oil, rich in antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory compounds
- Fermented foods such as kefir, kimchi, kombucha and yogurt, central to functional nutrition
- Ancient grains and pasta, valued for digestibility and transparent supply chains
- Plant proteins and legumes, sustainable and versatile sources
- Fruit, vegetables and nuts, symbols of natural, seasonal and minimally processed diets
For the third year, SANA Food will take place alongside Slow Wine Fair, offering professionals an integrated journey through ethical excellence in food & wine, with exclusive opportunities for business, networking and professional exchange.
