Sustainable management and action have become increasingly important over the last years. The UN has adopted 17 goals for sustainable development (Agenda 2030). Several of these goals relate to food production. Thus, the food industry can make a valuable contribution to sustainable development.
At Flensburg University of Applied Sciences we are aware that we can make a substantial contribution here through suitable research and transfer measures, such as in the Positively Produced and lebensmittel-eq.com projects. In order to address technological issues relating to sustainable food production, a lab for product technology is currently being built, for which renowned machine manufacturers will provide the systems.
The use of the oceans is another important sustainability goal that we are addressing in our work on marine biodiversity.
