The future of out-of-home catering
Organic out-of-home catering: Future-oriented and planet-healthy
An ecological transformation of our diet will only succeed with more organic food outside the home, more organic canteens and organic food in restaurants and communal catering. The latter serves more than 17 million people in Germany every day. Organic out-of-home catering offers great potential - also for making our food culture sustainable and planet-friendly.
Organic out-of-home catering: the key to ecological transformation
More organic food outside the home is the key to a holistic ecological transformation of the food system. Organic canteens and organic products in communal catering offer the potential for a sustainable and planet-healthy transformation of our food culture. Politicians are already setting the course for more organic food outside the home, which means opportunities for those involved in out-of-home catering.
Challenges and requirements in organic communal catering
The players in organic out-of-home catering are facing new challenges. Guests are placing higher demands on organic offerings in canteens, with a focus on personal health, environmental protection, transparency, connectivity and flexibility. At the same time, higher VAT, price increases for energy and food, unstable supply chains, New Work and digitalization are putting pressure on the industry. The increasing shortage of labor and skilled workers as well as greater price sensitivity among guests require creative solutions and practical examples that contribute to change in our heads and pots.
Exchange and cooperation are essential in order to master the opportunities and challenges of organic out-of-home catering. At BIOFACH, players will be exchanging ideas on sustainable solutions in the exhibition halls, interactive formats, on stages, at the congress and in the SustainableFutureLab. These platforms offer the opportunity to develop innovative concepts and drive forward the sustainable transformation of the food system.
