Project aim:

The aim of the project is to update the guidelines 'More organic in local authorities', which have been in existence since 2017.

Organic market analysis for Thuringia with special consideration of the sales of organic products in out-of-home catering (status quo and potential)

The Free State of Thuringia's political objective is to promote organic farming specifically, and to enable balanced, market-oriented, environmentally friendly growth during the funding period until 2027. Organic farming plays a key role in producing high-quality food, protecting natural resources, and ensuring species-appropriate animal husbandry, while also creating opportunities for new markets and greater regional value generation.

The study of the Thuringian organic market aims to provide reliable data on organic value chains. It analyses the current supply and demand situation, describes commodity flows and sales markets, identifies regional gaps and surpluses, and highlights opportunities for regional cultivation, processing, and marketing. Particular focus is placed on out-of-home catering (OOH): examining processing options, demand and cost structures makes visible the opportunities and levers for increasing the organic share in OOH, providing guidance for entrepreneurial and political action.

Bio Regio Management in Munich 2

Munich's ‘Haus der Kost’ (House of Food), the Competence Centre for Sustainable Nutrition which opened in April 2024, has set itself the goal of increasing the proportion of organic food in out-of-home catering in the city of Munich. To this end, organic regional market structures are to be identified and strengthened and/or established and stabilised. In order to fulfil these tasks, a coordination office ‘Bio-Regio-Management für Lebensmittel in der Außer-Haus-Verpflegung’ (Management of regional organic food in the out-of-home catering) was created, which Ecozept and its subcontractors will continue to support for a further two years.
