Our Theme World:
Green up your life
Nowadays, green is synonymous with a sustainable, health-promoting lifestyle, a conscious use of food and resources. How are the needs of the present satisfied without limiting the possibilities of future generations. The desire for more transparency, more regionality and seasonality, production and processing under environmentally friendly, animal-friendly and socially fair aspects are the focus of the exhibitors and their products and services in our theme world Green up your life. Get information and suggestions on where and how to start living green.
Volunteering and supply security
We want to provide a platform for technical/humanitarian supply assurance and volunteer initiatives. Without the numerous full-time and voluntary helpers, many projects and initiatives would simply not be possible. In voluntary work, we stand together for social togetherness, for a society in which there is room for everyone. The challenges posed by environmental influences and social processes increasingly call for assistance and support measures, intensive coordination and the interlocking of many specialists. Get an idea of the diversity of tasks!
Climate and nature conservation
Climate and species crises are directly related and can only be solved together. Intact ecosystems are natural climate protectors and provide important habitats for plants and animals. The importance of various ecosystems such as forests, oceans, soils and moors, urban nature, but also rivers and lakes are highlighted here. Get tips from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), among others, on what each individual can do to protect ecosystems.
Circular economy and zero waste
Here we offer the platform to a diverse target group dedicated to the principle of "reuse instead of throw away":
- Companies involved in renewable forms of energy, resource conservation and avoidance in the broadest sense, from production facilities to energy consultants for the consumer and the consumer.
- Idea generator and implementation forms for the reuse of products, zero waste, recycling and upcycling, repair in the areas of food, gardening and private consumption.
- Household products without plastic, CO2 and chemicals, reuse of waste, environmentally friendly packaging, e.g. from agricultural residues, reusable systems to avoid disposable products.
Wood as a multi-talent
Foresters show examples of sustainable forestry and forest management, innovative companies inform about efficient wood processing. Let us show you how versatile the raw material wood can be used and what climate-friendly and CO2-reducing advantages building and heating with wood offers. Our presentation "Multitalent Holz" is looking forward to you!
Renewable raw materials
From versatile wood to the multi-talented cattail, from well-known to rediscovered renewable resources, from sustainable and environmentally friendly plant cultivation to innovative applications of natural materials, the Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR) spans a network of diverse topics across its exhibition stand.
This network includes wood as an important component for climate-friendly housing construction and the necessary renovation of existing buildings. It presents the diversity of the bioeconomy, which is the transition from an oil-based to a bio-based economy. The exhibit explains how a climate-friendly transformation of our forests can be achieved. Highly relevant, the FNR shows how the rewetting of peatlands, our largest CO2 stores, can be reconciled with continued economic use of these areas.
Forest, game, hunting, nature
Habitats and refuges of our native wildlife continue to decline. Causes are the growing agricultural landscape and habitat fragmentation, but also the increase of predators. The hunters will provide you with information about the field habitat as well as the variety and necessities of hunting.
