This paper discusses which indicator is suitable to concretize the change of dietary styles towards less animal and more plant-based products – here called "protein transition" – for political and scientific discourse. The results presented are part of the work of the research project "Socio-ecological Transformation of the Food System" (acronym STErn) carried out on behalf of UBA/BMU.

Overview: Measures to implement the three STErn-strategies

Year 2023

Publication:Brochure

The brochure summarizes all the recommendations for action that were developed as part of the STErn project. Objectives and indicators are outlined for each key topic of the STErn project.

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.

Event:Workshop

On 21 March 2023, the STErn project team discussed the recommendations for action of the STErn project with around 40 experts from politics, administration, science and practice. The event was opened by Matthias Koller (Federal Environment Agency) and Dr. Margareta Büning-Fesel (Federal Agency for Nutrition). The recommendations for action of the STErn project were explained, discussed and supplemented in small groups.

Publication:Conference Paper

This discussion paper focuses on the potential for political intervention to promote regionalization (in the interests of sustainability) in the most effective way possible. It is part of the work of the research project "Socio-ecological Transformation of the Food System" (acronym STErn) carried out on behalf of UBA/BMU.

Politische Strategien für eine nachhaltigkeitsförderliche Regionalisierung von Ernährungssystemen

Diskussionspapier

Year 2022

Publication:Conference Paper

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.
