Paul Holmbeck is World Board Member of IFOAM - Organics International, Former Director of Organic Denmark and Director of Holmbeck EcoConsult. He played a leading role over 25 years in developing the partnerships with retailers that made Denmark a world leader in organic sales. Collaborations, consumer messaging and private label strategies have mainstreamed and democratized organics in Denmark, where organic market shares top 30-60 percent of total sales for many basic foods, from milk and eggs, to vegetables, grains and fruits. Since 2020, Paul has been advising governments and business associations worldwide in policy for organic market development and public procurement, and has been hired to provide strategic guidance and inspiration to leading retailers in e.g. Germany and The Netherlands on growing organic sales.
