Regional salad at PENNY
In the third instalment of our mini-series on locally grown vegetables, we present a specialist in a fast-growing vitamin source.
Local partnership Asparagus
During the season, up to 100 per cent of the strawberries and asparagus in REWE stores are grown locally. We present two farms as examples. The first is Esser's farm in Vettweiß.
More sustainable production
Gemüsebau Steiner and the Bavarian REWE supermarkets have enjoyed an exclusive partnership for ten years. With the energy and lighting concept of their greenhouses, they are regarded as a model company throughout Europe.
REWE and Naturland
Converting to organic farming is costly for farmers in the first few years. This is where REWE's new trailblazers with Naturland come in. From the second year of conversion, REWE now gives farmers the opportunity to market their conversion goods as trailblazers.
Markus Bobenhausen
Frost and heavy rain in spring, heatwaves in summer - 2022 was a string of extreme weather events. It was the warmest year in Europe since weather records began. The Mediterranean region in particular was too warm - even into the winter months. one spoke to Markus Bobenhausen, Head of Ultrafresh 1, about mandarins in autumn and why the onion will soon be coming from Egypt.
Networking at eye level
REWE Group's newly founded Centre of Excellence for Agriculture combines a sense of tradition with a start-up mentality. It is the first of its kind in the German food retail sector. Hans-Jürgen Moog, Management Board Member for Goods/Purchasing, and Emilie Bourgoin, Head of Public Affairs, talk about this pioneering concept.
