After retail, out-of-home catering is the second largest food sales channel in Germany. A variety of means on both the supply and demand side are necessary to stimulate, facilitate and encourage a more sustainable development and minimise GHG emissions in this sector. Nudges are one of these. This paper's focus lies on the demand side. Set in real-world laboratories, we use a standardised empirical approach to compare different nudging interventions belonging to the area of physical environment and consumers' choice making process. We compare the effects of the same intervention across different settings and the effect of different, sequential nudging interventions in the same setting. Data was collected in eight workplace and school cafeterias in Germany over two project iterations (2016/2017; 2019/2020). A similar intervention design was applied. Comparability was assured by a harmonised menu. The first project iteration revealed that only one nudge (top menu position, +22.5\%) led to significant increases in sustainable food choices, while results from the second iteration showed that all nudge interventions (best counter position, +11.6\%; top menu position, +6,9\%; label plus information, +15.9\%) positively influenced consumer choice. Possible explanations such as the stricter compliance to the experimental design in the cafeterias but also societal developments such as the appearance of the Fridays for Future movement are discussed. As results vary between specific locations and settings, our findings suggest that nudges need to be adjusted to situational conditions for achieving highest efficacy.}, language = {en} } @article{WeiheBoennhofRitteretal.2011, author = {Weihe, Felizitas and B{\"o}nnhof, Nora and Ritter, Guido and Eissing, G{\"u}nter}, title = {N{\"a}hrstoffverluste im Warmhalte­system der Schulverpflegung-Eine Metaanalyse}, year = {2011}, abstract = {"Die Warmhaltezeit zubereiteter Speisen ist zu mi­nimieren, m{\"o}glichst auf maximal 30 Minuten.

This study reports the results of the first direct quantification and economic assessment of surplus bread conducted in Italy, involving a panel of 12 bakeries and their branches located in the Lazio region, which compiled a daily diary for 5 months. They are small-scale bakeries which reflect the typical structure of the Italian businesses in the bakery sector, producing fresh bread and selling it directly to consumers. The surplus bread measured during the study consists of 6,694 kg in total, with an average quantity of 4.83 kg/day per bakery. Studying the three main products (common bread, focaccia bread and bread rolls), the average rate of surplus is respectively 5.88 \%, 3.99 \% and 5.28 \% of the production. The corresponding economic loss represents, on average, 5.44 \% of the daily turnover. A set of factors seems to exert highest influence on the generation of surplus, as the range of production, location and number of customers. When surplus bread occurs, in 63 \% of the cases it is managed on alternative routes to avoid disposal. Even if detected surplus bread does not necessarily become waste, it indeed represents a big loss for bakeries.}, language = {en} } @article{KirschRichertEngelmann2023, author = {Kirsch, Therese and Richert, Monique and Engelmann, Tobias}, title = {Bildungsangebote zur Motivation und Bef{\"a}higung von F{\"u}hrungskr{\"a}ften sowie Mitarbeitenden in Großk{\"u}chen f{\"u}r eine nachhaltigere Verpflegung}, series = {Haushalt in Bildung \& Forschung}, volume = {12.
