Direct Trade in Brannenburg: Fair shopping and strengthening producers
How can food be purchased fairly, sustainably, and as directly as possible from the producer? This question is the focus of the lecture Direct Trade – Fair shopping (almost) without supermarket on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at the Montessori Children's House Inntal in Brannenburg.
Direct trade instead of anonymous supply chains
Sustainability expert and author Frank Herrmann reports on his travels to southern Europe. The focus is on tomatoes, oranges, and olives, as well as the working conditions of migrants who harvest these foods under often difficult conditions.
At the same time, agricultural producers are under pressure from low prices and strict requirements of large supermarket chains. The lecture highlights connections along the supply chain and opens the perspective on fair trade relationships, regional direct marketing, and conscious shopping decisions.
Fair alternatives for everyday life
Direct Trade stands for more transparency, closeness, and appreciation between producers and consumers. The evening provides suggestions on how shopping at farmers, direct marketers, world shops, or through regional networks can contribute to a fairer and more sustainable food supply.
This event connects expertise about global supply chains with concrete ideas for personal shopping. Regional products, seasonal items, and fair trade structures come to the forefront alongside questions about the actual origin and quality of food.
Lecture and exchange over a soup
Following the lecture, the organizer invites attendees to a soup as well as to conversation and encounters. The exchange offers space to deepen the contents of the evening and discuss fair shopping pathways, local economy, and sustainable consumption together.
Conclusion
The evening at Montessori Children's House Inntal connects global perspectives with practical ideas for shopping locally. Those who want to consciously shape regional diversity, fair trade relationships, and sustainable nutrition will find food for thought and opportunities for conversation here. Admission is free.
