Bavaria to host school catering congress in Nuremberg

The Bavarian School Catering Congress is scheduled for September 23, 2026, in Nuremberg. Organized in conjunction with the national Day of School Catering, the event aims to bring together food providers, schools, and municipalities to discuss effective and high-quality school meal solutions. Nutrition Minister Michaela Kaniber emphasized the importance of combining food quality with strong organization and engaged partners to ensure meals are well-received by children.

In related developments regarding sustainable nutrition, experts are highlighting the importance of climate-healthy menu planning in social institutions. Recent workshops have focused on increasing plant-based variety, utilizing seasonal and regional ingredients, and reducing food waste. Strategies include using tools like the KlimaTeller app to optimize recipes by selecting ingredients with lower CO2 footprints, such as replacing butter with rapeseed oil or choosing spelt kernels over beef.
