regional products in the trend

fruits and vegetables from the region are becoming increasingly popular and helping domestic agriculture are becoming a small upswing. However, the starting conditions are not always optimal. The level of self -suffering in Germany with agricultural products is still limited, many foods are imported. The reasons for this are inadequate domestic production and seasonal differences. Nevertheless, there are gratifying developments: initiatives and business models that focus on regionality are becoming more important. More and more companies market their products directly, for example via farm shops, milk filling stations or at weekly markets. These structures contribute to strengthening the local economy and offering consumers a healthy and fresh option, as the Federal Center for Nutrition summarizes: Bzfe.

It shows that the trend towards picking yourself is not only an entertaining employment for families and friends, but also makes a valuable contribution to supporting the local agriculture. If you want to use the multi-layered offers of the region, you should not hesitate to visit the next fruit and flower fields.
