Sektion Baden-Württemberg der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ernährung e.V.

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) is the competent, independent professional association for nutrition issues in Germany. It was founded in 1953 as a non-profit organization and pursues its goals free of economic and political interests. Wholesome food and drink is its concern. The recommendations are scientifically sound, up-to-date, trend-setting and can be put into practice. The task of the DGE e.V. is to compile and evaluate scientific nutritional findings and make them available for practical use. Whether nutritional advice, community catering such as company and school catering, eating and drinking in certain life situations or in the case of illness - the DGE forms the basis and sets standards. The DGE's basic works include the reference values for nutrient intake and the nutrition report, which is published every four years. DGE-info provides monthly information on new findings, new publications and dates or nutritional recommendations. The DGE is a partner for nutritionists, kitchen managers, scientists, doctors, journalists and consumers when it comes to nutrition. The DGE is represented by sections in many federal states. Section Baden-Württemberg of the German Nutrition Society The DGE Baden-Württemberg section was founded in 1989 with the support of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Rural Areas and Consumer Protection. It has been a non-profit, registered association since 2006. Even today, the Ministry of Rural Areas and Consumer Protection Baden-Württemberg still provides the financial basis for the DGE-BW. There is also close cooperation with the University of Hohenheim. The original tasks of the DGE-BW are to provide information and further training for multipliers and to create an interdisciplinary platform in the field of nutrition. We achieve this through our conferences, seminars and telephone and e-mail advice. On the one hand, the interdisciplinary composition of the advisory board contributes significantly to the communication of different professions, approaches and projects in the field of nutrition in Baden-Württemberg. On the other hand, the work of the DGE-BW benefits from the wide-ranging expertise of the Board and Advisory Board.
