From 28 September to 1 October 2026, the University of Bayreuth hosted its first “Planetary Health through Cooking” Teaching Kitchen for healthy and sustainable diets at the Mönchshof Brewery in Kulmbach. The four-day course brought together students from diverse disciplines and cultural backgrounds to explore healthy and sustainable diets through hands-on cooking.

Students created or adapted recipes inspired by their personal and cultural backgrounds, translating Planetary Health principles into practice through collaborative cooking, discussions and shared meals. The positive feedback highlighted the potential of experiential learning to bring Planetary Health education beyond the classroom.

The course was made possible through funding from Univerein and UBTGS Community Share, contributions from local partners and retailers, and the support of the Planetary and Public Health Chair team.
