Germany's current nutrition system is not sustainable; it requires a far-reaching socio-ecological transformation. This finding forms the starting thesis of the STErn project, whose interim results and policy recommendations for action were discussed at a workshop on 21 March 2023. This paper provided the basis for the discussion. It is part of the work of the research project "Socio-ecological Transformation of the Food System" (acronym STErn), which was carried out on behalf of UBA/BMU.

Components for the Transformation towards a Sustainable Food System

Year 2023

Publication:Report

This report summarises key findings and recommendations for a strategy to promote more plant-based diets. This strategy is key for a sustainable transformation of food systems as so far, there is a lack of binding policy targets for sustainable nutrition to guide actions, and indicators to enable monitoring. This report discusses different options for targets and indicators, drawing on the concept of planetary boundaries and the Planetary Health Diet.

Entwicklung von politischen Handlungsansätzen für die Unterstützung stärker pflanzenbasierter Ernährungsweisen

Year 2023

Publication:Report

This report discusses the question of what degree of importance German environmental policy should attach to the regionalization of value chains and the role this approach might play in a socio-ecological transformation of the food system.
