How will we eat in the future?

This year, the Federal Office of Public Health published the new food pyramid, which is now aligned with the Planetary Health Diet. How do you ensure that food remains varied and tasty when you have to take so much into account? You can find answers to these questions today in the ‘Klimaschmaus’ podcast, the ‘Future Foods’ study and an award-winning tool for restaurateurs who want to prepare climate-friendly menus.

‘Klimaschmaus’ - the new podcast | Do you want to eat climate-friendly and enjoy your meals? Do something good for yourself and the environment? Eat more consciously and explore new culinary paths? Then the KILMASCHMAUS podcast is the right place for you! Every second Tuesday, chef Johanna and her father and sustainability expert Martin chat for around 15 minutes about the latest news and interesting facts on nutrition, health and the environment. The latest episode focussed on Michael Pollan's ‘Food Rules’. These simple, actionable principles, such as ‘Don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't have recognised as food’, promote a healthy, sustainable diet with a focus on natural, regional and seasonal foods.

Niatsu, CO2 calculator for the gastronomy sector | Niatsu specialises in processing climate data and integrating it into food systems. We tested it and received a carbon footprint for our buckwheat biscuit recipe in just a few seconds. The startup was awarded 3rd prize in the FHNW Swiss Sustainability Challenge. Niatsu uses machine learning to automate the calculation of the carbon footprint of products, thereby promoting transparency and efficiency in emissions measurement. The challenges include insufficient data and inconsistent reporting standards. This requires intelligent systems that can fill in the gaps and collate data from different sources in a meaningful way.
