Submitted by Roberta on Mon, 2015-01-26 12:55

The goal of the EU funded project UMBESA (ETZ program) is to select particular meals and foods in the participating commercial kitchens, which are optimised towards sustainability. A sustainable menu is characterized by the consideration of these criteria:

freshly cooked instead of convenient
regional food
seasonal food
biological quality
less meat

To check the feasibility of sustainable meals in commercial kitchens, test-cookings are realised. Moreover, there is a detailed evaluation of the meals regarding economy, ecology and nutrition physiology done. The benefit of the menu optimisation: cost savings and reduction of energy consumption as well as the reduction of CO2 emissions of the kitchens.

Vision Step I - Realising Villach's Smart City VIsion

ILMA - Analyse, Bewertung und Optimierung der Masseflüsse von Lebensmitteln u. Lebensmittelabfällen in der lebensmittelverarbeiteten Industrie

Submitted by Neumayer Stefan on Wed, 2016-03-23 12:14

BMLFUW, Martina Siebenhandl, Weichkäseherstellung

Konsumverhalten und Mangel an Kommunikation in der Versorgungskette sind gemäß FAO die wichtigsten Ursachen für die Entstehung von Lebensmittelabfällen in den Industrieländern. Das Wegwerfen von Lebensmittelabfällen ist aus ethischen und Ressourcengründen nicht sinnvoll. Das Projekt ILMA leistet einen Beitrag zur Abfallvermeidung, zur Optimierung der Verwertung der während der Lebensmittelverarbeitung anfallenden Lebensmittelabfälle und somit zur Ressourcenschonung.

Submitted by Roberta on Tue, 2015-10-06 11:05

Laut Österreichischem Ernährungsbericht 2012 liegen die konsumierten Mengen für Obst und Gemüse in allen untersuchten Bevölkerungsgruppen deutlich unter den Empfehlungen. Dagegen ist ein merklich über den Empfehlungen liegender Verzehr an Fleisch- und Wurstwaren zu verzeichnen. Beim Fleischeinkauf stellt sich zudem oft die Frage der Art der Tierhaltung. Der hohe Fleischverbrauch fördert eine industrielle Massentierhaltung, welche die Umwelt durch Treibhausgasemissionen, Wasserverbrauch, Rodung von Wäldern zum Futtermittelanbau etc.
