Ways towards a more sustainable nutrition: WBAE launches lecture series

On November 6, the Scientific Advisory Board for Agricultural Policy, Nutrition, and Consumer Health Protection (WBAE) will launch a ten-part online lecture series. The advisory board members will present the key findings of their latest report, “More choice at the table: Alternative products as a contribution to a more sustainable diet.”

In their presentations, they will show which contribution plant-based and biotechnological alternative products can make and which political, economic, and social conditions are necessary for this. Expertise from the Thünen Institute is part of the report: Hiltrud Nieberg, head of the Institute of Farm Economics, and Peter Weingarten, head of the Institute of Rural Studies, were involved as members of the WBAE.

Each event also offers time for discussion with the advisory board members and speakers after the lectures. Hiltrud Nieberg will be available for discussion and questions during the events.

The lecture series takes place online via Zoom on Thursdays between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Registration is required to participate.
