Berlin International Green Week (German: Internationale Grüne Woche Berlin), also called simply Green Week, is an important international trade fair held annually in Berlin, Germany, for processors and marketers in agriculture, horticulture and various food industries. Green Week traditionally takes place at the beginning of the year in the Messe Berlin exhibition halls under the Funkturm and is open to the general public. In 2010 it had around 400,000 visitors.[1] That same year, the Paris International Agricultural Show (French: Salon International de l'Agriculture) had 650,000 visitors.[2]
Since 2011[update], the fair is accompanied by protests themed We are fed up!. Between 15,000 and 30,000 people demonstrate against industrial livestock production and for more sustainable farming. [citation needed]
