The Grüne Woche fair attracted around 22 000 visitors to the EU stand over 10 days for the 2025 edition.
The Directorate-General (DG) for Agricultural and Rural Development shared the stand with DG Health and Food Safety and DG Defence Industry and Space. The theme this year was “A Competitive, Fair and Sustainable Agriculture for Europe”. The stand offered engaging experiences to inform visitors about the CAP, quality labels, food waste and animal welfare.
Episode 50 of Food for Europe podcast was recorded at the fair, with the participation of farm influencer Marie Hoffman on Saturday 18 January. This episode was also broadcast live on Facebook and X.
- There were 14 live interactive cooking shows with local chef Faust using products carrying EU quality labels.
- Visitors to the stand participated in quizzes on the CAP and health related topics and were invited to take part in the apple game on soil health.
- There were 60 “No food to waste” workshops, showcasing new recipes using leftovers.
- Interactive “Kaffeeklatsche” events around a coffee and branded mugs, which the participants could keep, allowing for more in-depth conversations of around 30 minutes, twice a day.
