Miscellaneous

Having first defined the term food in previous articles and differentiated the German term "Lebensmittel" from the often synonymously used term "Nahrungsmittel", we will now give a rough overview of the various food groups and subgroups.

We talk about climate zones because national borders are man-made. And since flora and fauna are demonstrably not bound to these in their growth and spread, we organise our research trips roughly according to the five main climate zones, which are distinguished from each other by similar geophysical conditions (e.g. amount of solar radiation, air temperature):

As a food scientist, I am interested in the production of our food and I have already got to know some food and food production companies "from the inside".

In Germany, there are two terms for what we eat that are often used interchangeably. "Lebensmittel" and "Nahrungsmittel".

We are researching traditional primary food production methods.

This short introductory sentence contains three words that we would first like to define in more detail in order to define our research project.
