What does the world eat?
The question of what can be put on the plate occupies aid organizations and researchers worldwide. The HSRW students also got involved as part of the interdisciplinary seminar "Recipes for the campus and other disasters" thinking about an answer to this question.
The team tested recipes that were sustainable, nutritious, and contained ingredients that would be accepted by a majority of the world's population.

Together, the group found the 20 most suitable and simplest recipes from the collection. These recipes are now presented in our book.

The cook box contains the basic ingredients of the recipe collection, which can be kept for a relatively long time and can either be kept in stock or, in the event of a disaster, can be procured or delivered on site.
Who cares?
“It has been said that civilization is twenty-four hours and two meals away from barbarism.”
Pratchett, Terry/Gaiman, Neil. Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. 1990.
Culture and civilization surround us as human beings like the air we breathe. The fulfillment of our basic needs is maintained by culture and civilization, only when some catastrophe befalls us do we even perceive what has held the world together at its core and that this aspect is now sorely missing. Diet plays a particularly important role in this. Because an empty stomach hurts. Civilization and culture and also a full stomach are mutually dependent and what happens when one factor fails is illustrated in a humorous way by the above quote from Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
