“A sustainable and balanced diet, ideally with organic food, in community catering is essential for both people’s health and the planet. With the Kitchen of the Future, together with ZUKUNFT ESSEN, we aim to provide you with the right tools for the next steps towards sustainable and health-promoting community catering, inspire dialogue, and ideally ignite the organic spark.” — Barbara Riegler, Chairwoman of BIO AUSTRIA
