World fields (‘Weltacker’ in german) will be laid out in Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein in 2021. The world field’s 2000 square meters represents the amount of arable land which is theoretically available to everyone in this world if the area is distributed fairly. Nutrition, food production and food supply, soil fertility, and soil as the basis of our daily nutrition are the central starting points for the world field in the three countries. Fertile soil is limited. Agriculture in particular relies on this resource, so that as far as possible nobody has to go hungry. We live in abundance, but we are often unaware that we obtain part of our food from other countries where there is no abundance. Thus, the project points to the problem of the globally unequal distribution of resources such as farmland. With the world field, the project partners convey an idea and a feeling for everyone’s own role in global agriculture. Global challenges are broken down into a tangible area. In the partner countries, various activities are being carried out in the field of education. The main aim is to give children, young people, and the interested visitors a better understanding of food production and consumption, resource use and its impacts. The project includes a professional exchange between the partner countries, a common platform for the development of digital information materials which are used at the individual events on site and a digital exchange between the participants. The topic of food supply is more central than ever, especially in times of COVID. The different approaches to conveying and further developing topics related to the world field are of utmost importance and meet a broad demand.
Goals - Introduce students, young people and adults to the topic of food and resource consumption. - Building knowledge, exchanging information on nutrition topics using digital media. - Building a network and strengthening cooperation between partner countries in the digital area to impart knowledge. Various educational activities are carried out in the partner countries. The main aim is to provide children, young people and the interested population with the To convey the connection to food and resource consumption in a tangible way. The project involves a technical exchange between the partner countries, a joint one Platform for the development of digital information materials that are used at individual events and a digital exchange between participants. The issue of food supply is more relevant than ever. The different approaches to conveying and further developing topics related to the World fields are therefore particularly suitable and meet with broad demand.
Weltacker fields will be created in 2021 in Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein. The world field (an area of 2,000 square meters) describes that arable area, which is theoretically available to every person in the world if the area were distributed fairly. Nutrition, food production and supply, Soil fertility and soil as the basis of nutrition are the important starting points for global agriculture in the three countries. Fertile soil is limited. Just those Agriculture relies on this resource more than ever to provide the food it needs every day so that no one goes hungry. We live in... Abundance, but we are often not aware that we get some of the food from other countries where there is no abundance. The project thus points to the problem the globally unequal distribution of resources such as arable land. With the Weltacker, the project partners convey an idea and a feeling for their own role in global agriculture. Global challenges become one broken down into a tangible area.
