We use so much plastic everyday and are so burning more and more fossil fuels. This is very hurtfull for our planet and we will not have these ressourcers anymore, so we should change our habits now! More...
What if you could eat the packaging off your food instead of throw it into the bin?
Some startup companies are on a good way to invent new technologies to wrap our food into edible foils or packaging. That is inspiring, isn't it?

According to the web app KoBo Toolbox it is possible to analyze the eating habits all over the world and compare them across the different countries.
Our idea is to proceed with the output of analysis and find the most efficient way to counteract and therefore protect the environment (e.g decrease meat consumption, put fishing restrictions in place,...). The analyzes could be used as a first step into a bright future not only for us but also for the next generations.

The task was to think about possible ideas for a Project about our food consumption. We thought that the following ideas would be very interesting:
- Diffrences between the eating habits of the cultures (mealtimes)
- Who is eating the most fastfood and who is eating healthy?
- Which culture eats seasonal and organic?
- Is the most consumed Food either global or local?
- How much meat is consumed in one day?
- Which kind of meat is the most consumed?
- How many meals are vegetarian?
We are looking forward to the projects!

Genetically modified organisms are scary. Especially when they appear in food. Many consumers are worried about their health. But does not genetic engineering also have its good side? For example, when it comes to eliminating diseases from plants?
