Location: Berlin, Germany
Summary:
The Committee on Nutrition and Agriculture of the German Bundestag has presented a progress report on its deliberations on the citizens’ report “Changing Nutrition”. The report examines the recommendations of the citizens’ report and presents the committee’s current position on each of them.
Background:
In 2021, the German government commissioned a citizens’ report on “Changing Nutrition”. The report was developed by a randomly selected group of citizens who, after an intensive study phase, developed recommendations for a sustainable and healthy nutrition system.
Findings of the Progress Report:
The progress report of the Committee on Nutrition and Agriculture examines the 10 recommendations of the citizens’ report in detail. The committee agrees with many of the recommendations, such as the need to reduce meat consumption, promote organic farming, and improve nutrition education. However, the committee also has reservations about some recommendations, such as the call for a meat tax.
Next Steps:
The Committee on Nutrition and Agriculture will continue its deliberations on the citizens’ report and is expected to present a final report with its recommendations to the Bundestag in the fall of 2025. The recommendations of the committee will then form the basis for the government’s nutrition policy.
Statements:
Dr. Julia Klöckner, Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture:
“The citizens’ report is an important contribution to the debate on the future of our food system. The progress report of the Committee on Nutrition and Agriculture shows that the committee is taking the recommendations of the citizens seriously. I am confident that the final report of the committee will provide us with valuable insights and recommendations for a sustainable and healthy nutrition system.”
Dr. Kirsten Kappert-Gonther, Chair of the Committee on Nutrition and Agriculture:
“The citizens’ report has raised important questions about the future of nutrition. Our committee has carefully examined the recommendations of the report and has developed a clear position on each of them. We are confident that our final report will make a significant contribution to the debate on food policy.”
