Regions of Bremen and Bremerhaven demonstrate leadership in providing nutritious food for everyone
In a significant step towards promoting healthy and sustainable food for all citizens, the "Shaping the Food Turnaround Together" (GEG) consortium project was launched at The Kitchen Forum in Bremen. The event, attended by approximately 40 participants, featured a symbolic herb plant handover by Dr. Margareta Büning-Fesel, President of the Federal Agency for Agriculture and Nutrition, to the participants of the model region and Senator Kathrin Moosdorf.
The GEG project in Bremen is aligned with the federal government's efforts to promote healthy and sustainable food for all citizens. It aims to set a strong example for other cities and communities to follow in a health-promoting, sustainable, and inclusive food turnaround.
The consortium project involves partners from science, business, politics, and civil society, working together to achieve the project's primary goals over the next two years. The project managers presented concrete participation opportunities at the event, aiming to foster collaboration and innovation.
The GEG project supports the implementation of the "Action Plan 2025 - Healthy Nutrition in the Catering of the City of Bremen." The project focuses on increasing the share of organic food in out-of-home catering, reducing food waste, and supporting regional value chains.
The event also highlighted the project's commitment, cooperation, and innovative spirit. The Kitchen Forum serves as the center for sustainable nutrition in Bremen, providing a platform for the project's activities.
The Bremen consortium project continues to receive federal funding with 1.25 million euros from the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and the Environment (BMEL). The project ties in with the statewide nutrition strategy currently being developed.
Sustainable nutrition projects, such as GEG, typically aim to transform food systems by promoting environmentally friendly practices, improving food security, and enhancing nutritional health. These projects often involve collaboration among stakeholders to create a more resilient food system.
By implementing sustainable production methods, providing educational outreach, and collaborating with policymakers, projects like GEG contribute to a more sustainable food system. The GEG project in Bremen is expected to make a significant impact in promoting healthy and sustainable food choices for its citizens.
- The GEG project in Bremen, with its focus on organic food, food waste reduction, and regional value chains, is a prime example of how science, health-and-wellness, and environmental-science can collaborate towards promoting healthy and sustainable food choices for citizens.
- The consortium project in Bremen, involving partners from science, business, politics, and civil society, is not only concerned with fitness-and-exercise but also aims to promote healthy diets through the implementation of the "Action Plan 2025 - Healthy Nutrition in the Catering of the City of Bremen."
- The GEG project, which receives federal funding and ties in with the statewide nutrition strategy, is a testament to the importance of nutrition in fostering a sustainable environment, making it a significant contributor to the field of environmental-science.
