OLGA

OLGA Newsletter no. 8, 12/2024

Dear reader,

A completely different but very important regeneration for our landscapes: The OLGA team has planted an apple tree! Here the Red Berlepsch presents itself in green tree protection garb with project coordinator Anke Hahn.

It's not just the year 2024 that is coming to an end. Also the OLGA project will officially end at the end of March 2025. We don't want to withhold the activities of the last few months from you - unless you were there yourself ;-). That's why we have compiled information about the activities for the last months for you, such as the newly created regional value chain for lentil falafel made from organically grown Doberquitz plate lentils and their marketing options in Dresden or the establishment of a Saxon regional group for agroforestry topics under the umbrella of the German Agroforestry Association DeFAF e.V. and much more. We are also pleased to be part of the publications and podcasts of the Stadt-Land-Plus programme, in particular to be able to communicate our most important statements from OLGA on the subject of sustainable land use and regional nutrition. 

We will continue to publish further project results and policy recommendations after the publication of this newsletter, which can of course still be found and downloaded from our website. You can still reach us at the following e-mail address: olga@uzdresden.de. We wish happy holidays and a healthy and successful New Year 2025! 

Season's greetings from the OLGA project team
