As a nation, Germany is famed for bratwurst and schnitzel, but a recent survey shows that people want more ethically-produced meat. With animal welfare and fair pay for farmers top of mind, ethically-sound and locally-sourced meat products are more popular than ever.

Germany has a big problem when it comes to food wastage, which is contributing to the country’s carbon emissions. That’s why SirPlus, a supermarket that only sells ‘rescued food’, has been created, helping people minimise their impact on the environment while picking up their groceries.

The term ‘vegans’ tends to conjure up images of salad-grazing, stick-thin hippies. But a different vegan message of indulgence and junk food has taken over Berlin. Supermarket chain Veganz stocks vegan candy and meatless bacon strips. But isn’t vegan junk food the ultimate diet contradiction?

New research shows that Germans are buying food and drink with more care and attention than ever before. As they try to avoid preservatives and stay healthy, a wealth of 'raw' products have emerged. Raw snacks are leading the way, but there’s an appetite for such products across categories.
