How can people in our food systems simply eat well - despite a large supply of (often rather unhealthy) food on the one hand and high food price increases on the other?
Important solutions include nutritional education and communication: suitable educational programs for people of different ages and social backgrounds and the opportunity to continuously receive understandable and reliable information. Community catering - for example in daycare centers and schools, canteens and cafeterias as well as food banks - plays a significant role, also in social terms.

Nutritional education not only helps to build a healthy body, but also contributes to the consideration of the land where the food is produced and its producers as well as the maintenance and revitalization of communities by sharing a meal together.

This Japanese-German symposium invites experts from science and practice to share their insights on the different approaches that Japan and Germany are taking to enable people in both countries to eat as healthy and balanced a diet as possible and to contribute to a lively exchange between the two countries.
The event will be held in German and Japanese with simultaneous interpretation.

The symposium will take place on site at the JDZB. It will also be possible to participate online via livestream.

The event will be held in German and Japanese.
