rethinking of food consumption in society , which is characterized by the desire for regional products as well as high-quality nutritionally physiological products.
Trust in regionally grown and produced food with a known origin has become increasingly stronger, which has also increased the willingness to invest more in these same food products.
Our goal is to support farmers in developing their own food directly on the farm in order to expand their own added value and the range of regionally produced food. Above all, locally produced food should be given a new status and space in the trade and thus give agriculture an understanding of the potential of a new source of income.
