Last Sunday, Germany’s Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife visited Kulmbach for the ceremonial handover of the harvest crown and explored the Market of Opportunities.
The Federal President and his wife enthusiastically sampled vegan ice cream made from spent brewer’s grains, an innovative project by the Food Innovators at Food Valley Kulmbach. They also took time for an engaging conversation with our students and team about our food-related study programmes and their international focus.
At our stand, we also presented our interactive survey on protein requirements and sustainability, developed by our Master’s students and doctoral researchers. Visitors could engage with questions about protein needs and sustainable nutrition.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and showed interest in our work at the intersection of food, sustainability, and international exchange.
