Empowering children for sustainable food

Dortmund, traditionally known for its industrial heritage, is redefining itself as a leader in sustainable urban development. This transformation is vividly reflected in its commitment to creating a greener, more sustainable future, especially through its focus on sustainable food practices.


As a member of Eurocities, Dortmund leverages this network to share insights, and contribute to a collective vision of a sustainable Europe.

Dortmund – Empowering Sustainability

Dortmund’s project, which places a significant emphasis on climate-friendly and healthy eating in municipal institutions, particularly day care centers for children, is a pioneering endeavor.

Eat and act responsibly

The initiative aims to instill values of sustainable consumption from an early age, integrating organic and regional food products into the diets of the city’s youngest residents.

Why Dortmund Stands Out:

Within the Eurocities framework, Dortmund’s project resonates with the network’s overarching goals of fostering innovation and collaboration among European cities.

By showcasing its sustainable food initiative at Eurocities 2024, Dortmund not only highlights its achievements but also sets a standard for others.
