Gold for Senecura Bludenz: model for regional food catering!
Götzis, Österreich - in a festive ceremony that recently took place in the Kulturbühne Ambach in Götzis, Senecura Bludenz was presented as part of the initiative "Vorarlberg am Teller" . This award recognizes the exemplary use of regional food in the joint catering. The mayor Andrea Mallitsch emphasized the importance of regionality in the care facility and emphasized the positive influence on domestic agriculture.
A total of 45 companies in Vorarlberg were awarded as part of the initiative, which together prepare around five million meals every year. The numbers are impressive: 2023 flowed 8.6 million euros to Vorarlberg farmers. These companies rely on products from the region and thus show how sustainable handling of food can be implemented in everyday life. "This award is not only a sign of quality, but also for the responsibility and appreciation of our agriculture," continues Mallitsch.
a strong sign for sustainable food
In recent years, the initiative has awarded many community kitchens, which are characterized by its high use of goods in regional products. The award categories range from platinum to gold and silver to bronze and are based on the proportion of regional and biological foods such as meat, milk, fruit and vegetables. The initiative actively contributes to promoting sustainable community catering and brings together farmers closer with catering companies.
sustainability as the key to the future
The importance of a sustainable diet is becoming increasingly clear at the national level. Community catering has the potential to make healthy and sustainable food accessible and attractive for many people - be it in schools, hospitals or other institutions. The concept of "nudging" plays an important role here: Through targeted presentation and selection of food, healthy eating behavior should be promoted without people being aware of it.
As experience shows, we often unconsciously choose certain foods. Here companies can take advantage of support to create a positive nutritional environment that makes it easier to enjoy healthy, local products. Participation is essential - both on the part of the catering companies and consumers, such as students, so that they can actively help shape the offers.
The award of Senecura Bludenz is not only praise for the past performance, but also a clear guide to a sustainable culinary future for Vorarlberg. Such initiatives not only strengthen the regional economy, but also raise awareness of healthy eating.
