Ausgezeichnete Ideen für den Food-Wandel: Weltverbesserer-Wettbewerb für vorbildliche Restaurants, Gemeinschaftsverpflegungen und Produzent*innen  

Immer mehr Betriebe der Gastronomie, Gemeinschaftsverpflegung und Lebensmittelproduktion haben die Zeichen der Zeit erkannt: Es geht um Transformation hin zu nachhaltiger, fairer und besser. Konzepte, die sich hierbei besonders hervortun, zeichnet der „Weltverbesserer-Wettbewerb“ aus. Kürzlich fand die diesjährige Verleihung in Berlin statt. 

Dumplings aus überschüssigen Lebensmitteln, die sonst weggeworfen worden wären, Zero-Waste-Restaurants oder vegane Foodlinien für Kantinen: Der „Weltverbesserer-Wettbewerb“, 2019 ins Leben gerufen, zeichnet Konzepte aus, die Nachhaltigkeit und Genuss, verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Ressourcen und Qualität gekonnt miteinander verbinden. Vergeben werden die Preise in drei Kategorien (Restaurants, Gemeinschaftsgastronomie und Foodprodukte). Eine siebenköpfige Expert*innen-Jury, bestehend aus Köch*innen, Foodherstellern, kulinarischen Berater*innen und Marketing-Profis, trifft eine Vorauswahl der Einreichungen und entscheidet beim Finale, welche von den je Kategorie um den Sieg pitchenden Bewerber*innen am Ende ganz oben auf dem Treppchen landet. Die Bewertungskriterien sind unter anderem die Verwendung frischer und biologischer Zutaten, saisonaler und regionaler Produkte, Vermeidung von Abfällen und Foodwaste, Energieeffienz und – bei den Gastro- und GV-Konzepten — nachhaltige Ausstattung, Bekleidung und Interieurs. 

 

Regenerative Pizza und gerettetes Gemüse

Nachdem der Wettbewerb dreimal hintereinander digital stattfand – aus bekannten Gründen –, gab es Anfang Mai 2023 wieder ein Live-Finale, zu dem sich das Fachpublikum ins „Engelnest“ in Berlin-Schöneberg einfand. Pitches à 9 Minuten standen dort an: Julius Palm von „Followfood“ aus Friedrichshafen präsentierte am Beispiel der vom Unternehmen kreierten Bianca-Pizza, wie sich Klima- und Bodenschutz aufs Teigrund bringen lassen – nämlich in Form biologischen und regenerativ angebauten Gemüses und Getreides, das zum Erhalt der wertvollen Hummusschicht beiträgt, die CO2 speichert. 12 Tonnen Gemüse pro Woche rettet der Berliner Händler „Querfeld“ mittlerweile deutschlandweit, es wird an 80 Großküchen sowie online kistenweise an Privatpersonen verkauft. Säfte, Schorlen, Cider und alkoholfreien Secco aus Früchten von Streuobstwiesen produziert und vetreibt „Wiesenkiez“ aus Fulda und sorgt damit für den Erhalt dieser heimischen Natur-Refugien. 

 

100% Bio in der Allianz-Kantine

Dass eine konservative Versicherung das erste Unternehmen der Stadt (Hamburg) sein kann, das seine Kantine auf 100% Bio umstellt, präsentierte „Allianz Trade“ mit seinem Vertragspartner „apetito Catering“: Fast 90% der Belegschaft stimmte für diese Umstellung, trotz leichter Preiserhöhungen. Ein ganzheitliches Ernährungskonzept von eigenen Farmen über Food-Linien für Business-Catering wie für Kitas sowie eigene Restaurants hat „Organic Garden“ auf den Weg gebracht. „Heavens Kitchen“ aus Stuttgart macht mit Menüs, bei denen die veganen Speisen auf kompostierbarem Papier statt auf Tellern aufmerksamkeitsstark auf den Tischen inszeniert werden, auch Carnivoren Lust auf pflanzenbasierte Küche. Und das Ende 2022 eröffnete Restaurant „Happa“, ebenfalls pflanzenbasiert, haben die Gründerinnen Sophia Hoffmann und Nina Petersen auf ihre eigenen Bedürfnisse sowie ihres Teams zugeschnitten. „Hobenköök“ aus Hamburg wiederum präsentiert sich als Mischkonzept aus Restaurant und Markthalle mit nachhaltigen Zutaten. 

 

„Wir glauben an die Kraft der Wirtschaft“

Am Ende fiel die Jury-Wahl auf „Followfood“, „Organic Garden“ sowie „Heavens Kitchen“. Während die „regenerative Pizza“ nachhaltige Ernährung einfach im Einkaufsalltag macht, ist das Food- und Küchenkonzept von „Organic Garden“ auch ohne Profi-Köch*innen umsetzbar – und bei „Heaven’s Kitchen“ überzeugte die Kombination aus Überzeugungsarbeit für pflanzliche Küche und deren unkonventionelle Darbietung. Sie erhalten als Preise Unterstützung in ihrer Nachhaltigkeits-Kommunikation, Medienleistungen bzw. Klimaschutz-Workshops. Doch dass alle, die hier teilgenommen Gewinner sind, ist in diesem Falle wirklich einmal keine Floskel. Denn sie alle tragen vorbildlich zu einer Veränderung innerhalb der Food-Branche, die einen enormen gesellschaftlichen Impact hat, bei. „Wir glauben an die Kraft der Wirtschaft – wenn man einmal bedenkt, wie viele Menschen wir mit Gastronomie, der Gemeinschaftsverpflegung oder Lebensmitteln erreichen können“, so Balázs Tarsoly von der Berliner Agentur „Branding Cuisine“, die den Wettbewerb ins Leben gerufen hat. Er freut sich, dass es immer mehr Ideen und Konzepte gibt, die ihren Teil zu einer Weltverbesserung beitragen. 

 

Es geht weiter!

Auch 2024 wird es wieder einen Weltverbesserer-Wettbewerb geben. Wer sich für die nächste Ausgabe bewerben oder von den Konzepten und ihren Ideen inspirieren lassen möchte – mehr Informationen gibt es unter www.weltverbesserer-wettbewerb.de

Award-winning ideas for food change: Do-gooder competition for exemplary restaurants, community catering and producers

More and more companies in the catering, communal catering and food production sectors have recognized the signs of the times: It's about transformation to more sustainable, fairer, and better. The "Do-gooder Competition" honors concepts that stand out in this respect. This year's award ceremony was recently held in Berlin. 

Dumplings made from surplus food that would otherwise have been thrown away, zero-waste restaurants or vegan food lines for canteens: The "Do-gooder Competition," launched in 2019, honors concepts that skillfully combine sustainability and enjoyment, responsible use of resources and quality. Prizes are awarded in three categories (restaurants, community catering and food products). A jury of seven experts, consisting of chefs, food producers, culinary consultants, and marketing professionals, will pre-select the entries and decide at the finale which of the applicants pitching for victory in each category will end up at the top of the podium. The evaluation criteria include the use of fresh and organic ingredients, seasonal and regional products, avoidance of waste and food waste, energy efficiency and , in the case of the gastronomy and food service concepts,  sustainable equipment, clothing, and interiors.


Regenerative pizza and saved vegetables

After the competition was held digitally three times in a row - for well-known reasons - there was again a live final at the beginning of May 2023, for which the professional audience gathered at the "Engelnest" in Berlin-Schöneberg. Pitches of 9 minutes each were scheduled there: Julius Palm of "Followfood" from Friedrichshafen presented how climate and soil protection can be brought to the bottom of the dough using the example of the Bianca pizza created by the company - namely in the form of organic and regeneratively grown vegetables and grains that contribute to the preservation of the valuable hummus layer, which stores CO2. 12 tons of vegetables per week are now saved by the Berlin-based retailer "Querfeld" throughout Germany; they are sold to 80 large kitchens as well as online by the crate to private individuals. Juices, spritzers, ciders and non-alcoholic secco made from fruit from meadow orchards are produced and distributed by Wiesenkiez in Fulda, thus ensuring the preservation of these native natural refuges.


100% organic in the Allianz canteen

The fact that a conservative insurance company can be the first company in the city (Hamburg) to convert its canteen to 100% organic was presented by "Allianz Trade" and its contractual partner "apetito Catering": almost 90% of the workforce voted in favor of this conversion, despite slight price increases. “Organic Garden” has launched a holistic nutrition concept from its own farms to food lines for business catering as well as for daycare centers and its own restaurants. "Heavens Kitchen" from Stuttgart also appeals to the appetite of carnivores for plant-based cuisine with menus in which the vegan dishes are presented on compostable paper instead of plates in an eye-catching way on the tables. And the restaurant "Happa", also plant-based, which opened at the end of 2022, has been tailored by founders Sophia Hoffmann and Nina Petersen to their own needs and those of their team. "Hobenköök" from Hamburg, in turn, presents itself as a mixed concept of restaurant and market hall with sustainable ingredients.


"We believe in the power of business."

In the end, the jury chose "Followfood", "Organic Garden" and "Heavens Kitchen". While the "regenerative pizza" makes sustainable nutrition easy in everyday shopping, the food and kitchen concept of "Organic Garden" can be implemented even without professional cooks - and in the case of "Heaven's Kitchen" the combination of persuasion for plant-based cuisine and its unconventional presentation was convincing. They will receive prizes in the form of support for their sustainability communication, media services and climate protection workshops. It isn’t just the winning that counts, but the taking part, in this case, is quite true because they all contribute in an exemplary way to a change within the food industry, which has an enormous social impact. "We believe in the power of business - once you consider how many people we can reach with gastronomy, community catering or food," says Balázs Tarsoly of the Berlin agency "Branding Cuisine," which launched the competition. He is pleased that there are more and more ideas and concepts that are doing their part to improve the world.


It continues!

There will be another do-gooder competition in 2024. Anyone who would like to apply for the next edition or be inspired by the concepts and their ideas - more information is available at www.weltverbesserer-wettbewerb.de
