This year, the focus will be on tips for planning your groceries, storing food and utilising leftovers. Together with the federal states, the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture is drawing attention to the reduction of food waste and is calling on consumers, companies, organisations and associations to get involved. There is still time to register your campaigns and take part. Join in and work with us to promote greater appreciation of food! You can find more information (only in german) here.
