Organic Food Transition in Bremen schools, Germany

25 February 2025
Technical details

 

A two-day transition arena workshop on promoting organic food in Bremen schools was implemented in June 2024 by the Bremen University and Biostadt Bremen – a city-state initiative of the Federal State of Bremen. The arena process was based on the “Action Plan on Healthy nutrition in the municipality of Bremen” with the aim to increase the share of organic food in public catering up to 100%.

The workshop participants were catering organizations, representatives of political parties, a teacher, cooks, pupils, local farmers, parents, representatives of food associations, Kitchen Forum (Competence center for sustainable nutrition) and BioStadt Bremen.

As a result, a path towards nutritious and healthy organic food in Bremen schools for 1 EUR per child was co-created and agreed. After the workshop, a wider exchange and empowering of parents, pupils, teachers, cooks, caterers, politicians and public administration was organized to take the first steps.
