Information for restaurateurs
Information for restaurateurs
Dear restaurateurs, dear chefs,
As part of our gastronomy initiative, the aim was to support restaurants in not only offering their special dishes on-site, but also making them accessible to a wider customer base, thus creating an additional source of income. One possible approach was to package products in a shelf-stable way, label them, and market them accordingly.
Further information and expert articles on food production, packaging, marketing and sales are available on our knowledge platform after free registration.

Information for direct marketers:
Information for direct marketers:
The shift in food consumption was increasingly characterized by a desire for regional products and for high-quality, nutritionally sound goods. At the same time, trust in regionally produced food with traceable origins grew, along with a willingness to invest more in these products.
The initiative supported farmers in developing their own food products directly on the farm, thereby increasing their added value and expanding the range of regionally produced food. This aimed to give local products a stronger presence in the market and to highlight additional income opportunities for agricultural businesses.
