Self-Commitments Related to Food

Here you can enter your own voluntary commitment (with or without publication of your name). 

We have decided to make the names – if specified – only visible internally at UZH. Once you have logged in to the platform, you will be able to see the names.

In 2019, around 709,000 meat or fish, 296,000 vegetarian, and 141,000 vegan menus were served at UZH. Consequently, an average canteen guest chooses a menu with meat or fish on three days in a five-day week. The production and provision of food causes greenhouse gas emissions, especially through agro-industrial production. In 2019, the menus served at UZH amounted to the emission of 2,042 tons of CO₂ equivalents. These emissions can best be reduced by choosing meat less frequently.
