A strong signal for sustainability and regionality: We are delighted that our NahWertVoll project is featured in detail in the current DSW Journal!

On several pages, you can gain exciting insights into our commitment to sustainable nutrition in our canteens.

What is NahWertVoll?
NahWertVoll combines the expansion of regional organic value chains with measures to combat food loss and the further development of cafeteria offerings. Our goal is to actively advance the food transition—with a clear focus on:

• Sustainability: We are committed to reducing food waste, increasing the proportion of organic products, and expanding regional value chains.

• Regionality: Cooperation with regional producers and suppliers strengthens the local economy and ensures fresh, seasonal products on the plate.

• Transparency: We provide students and staff with comprehensive information about the origin, quality and processing of the food on offer.

Why is this important?
Our cafeterias are places of change and innovation. With NahWertVoll, we want to show that it is possible to reduce food waste, increase the proportion of organic food, and expand regional value chains—and that this benefits everyone: the environment, our health, and the community.
