Côte d'Ivoire: A journey into the world of cocoa
On a study trip to Côte d'Ivoire. We would like to share our exciting travel impressions with you. We report on how we helped to harvest cocoa fruits and prepare them for further processing.
We all hear about them: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the 17 goals for sustainable development that were adopted by the United Nations as part of the 2030 Agenda . But let's be honest: do we really know what they mean in concrete terms for our daily lives? And more importantly, how can we take action ourselves? The goal of "zero hunger" sounds clear, but what exactly can we personally do about it?
Sustainability is a huge topic and it often feels abstract. Many people understand that global problems such as hunger exist, but there is a lack of concrete recommendations for action. This is exactly where our new exhibition "World Cocoa Journey" comes in!
An entire room in the "World Cocoa Journey" is dedicated to the 2030 Agenda and the 17 goals. For each individual goal, you are shown three specific ways in which you can personally contribute to achieving the goals.
For example? Let's take the goal "Zero hunger". We'll show you how a vegetarian diet can help, why it's important to only buy food that you really use and how you can donate surplus food instead of throwing it away. These are simple steps that can have a big impact!
