    Besser essen in der Gemeinschaftsverpflegung: Wie schaffen wir mehr Bio ausser Haus? (Langversion)

    Gemeinschaftsgastronomie gilt als Bereich mit grossem Biopotenzial, auch weil die Marktanteile hier noch sehr gering sind. In unserer neusten Folge sprechen wir mit zwei Spezialistinnen über diese Potenziale und die Hindernisse auf dem Weg zu mehr Bio in der Gemeinschaftsverpflegung. Heute bewegen wir uns für einmal weg von der Bioproduktion, und schauen dorthin, wo Bioprodukte ihren Platz auf den Tellern finden. In den Privathaushalten hat Bio bereits einen schönen Marktanteil erreicht, das gilt sowohl für deutsche Verbraucher*innen, wie auch noch verstärkt für die schweizerischen Konsument*innen, die den weltweit höchsten Bioanteil im Einkaufskorb aufweisen.  Die Potenziale in der Gastronomie, wie auch in der Gemeinschaftsverpflegung sind aber nach wie vor ungenügend genutzt. Oder optimistischer ausgedrückt: Die Möglichkeiten für grösseren Bioabsatz sind hier riesig. Natürlich ruft das Thema auch die Forschung auf den Plan.  In dieser Podcastfolge sprechen wir mit Anja Erhart und Sabine Ersing vom FiBL in Deutschland über Bionahrungsmittel in der Gemeinschaftsverpflegung. Dieser etwas sperrige Begriff umfasst die Restauration in Schulen, Kitas, Krankenhäusern, Kantinen, Pflegeeinrichtungen und ähnlichen Institutionen.  Im Gespräch mit Adrian Krebs berichten Ersing und Erhart über den Status quo in den deutschen Gemeinschaftsküchen, die wie erwähnt grossen Potenziale und die Fortschritte im EU-Projekt Visionary. Dieses versucht die brachliegenden Möglichkeiten länderübergreifend zu ermitteln und so die Biowertschöpfung zu steigern. Bei dieser Folge handelt es sich um die lange Folge der Folge 128 von FiBL Focus.  Bei Fragen, Anregungen oder Kritik meldet euch bei uns.

    Diversità coltivata – l’esempio del Riso Resiliente

    Questo podcast è dedicato alla scoperta del ruolo dei semi nella costruzione di filiere alimentari sostenibili per l’ambiente e la comunità. Noi tutti desideriamo cibi gustosi, sani e rispettosi dell'ambiente. Per produrli, gli agricoltori e le agricoltrici hanno bisogno di semi adatti alle condizioni locali e resistenti ai cambiamenti climatici. La biodiversità coltivata include i semi di una vasta gamma di varietà locali e nuove cultivar adattate alle condizioni locali.  La ricchezza della biodiversità coltivata e delle conoscenze locali rappresenta la spina dorsale delle nostre tradizioni culinarie, della varietà dei piatti locali e di molte tradizioni culturali.  In questo episodio parliamo del caso del "Riso Resiliente" in Italia, un'iniziativa congiunta della Rete Semi Rurali e del Biodistretto del Riso del Piemonte. L'obiettivo del progetto "Riso Resiliente" è stato quello di facilitare l'accesso a varietà di riso meno uniformi rispetto a quelle attualmente in commercio, favorendone l'adattamento ai contesti locali e alle tecniche di coltivazione. Il progetto ha sviluppato nuove varietà di riso più diversificate, che grazie alla loro diversità genetica si possono adattare alle specifiche condizioni locali. Ciò ha portato alla commercializzazione di materiale sementiero noto come MEB (Materiale Eterogeneo Biologico). Ascolta l’episodio per scoprire di più sulle varietà di "Riso Resiliente" già in coltivazione e in fase di sviluppo e sulla rete di attori del settore del riso biologico, tra cui produttori, tecnici, trasformatori e ricercatori, interessati a trovare soluzioni comuni per la transizione agroecologica dei sistemi di produzione del riso e dell’agricoltura delle zone umide.
