Fair breakfast: enjoyment with a clear conscience in Neuruppin!

A sunny start to the day is promised on July 19, 2025 in Neuruppin: The fair breakfast invites everyone to meet with a cozy atmosphere and delicious dishes. The event takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. behind the monastery church. Interested parties can pay for the solidarity price at their own discretion: children between 3 and 11 years pay between 3 and 7 euros, while adults from 12 years of age pay between 5 and 15 euros.

The goal of this initiative? The support of producers from the global south and the promotion of regenerative agriculture. Anyone who wants to be there should bring their own dishes, i.e. plates and cups - a small but fine gesture that underlines the idea of sustainability.

A colorful program awaits the guests

not only waiting for delicious dishes, but also an entertaining program: musical performances, a hands-on circus for young and old and different sales stands will create a colorful frame. Breakfast is organized in cooperation between several institutions, including the Fairtrade city of Neuruppin, the Evangelical and Catholic parishes, the Evangelical School Neuruppin, the Estaruppin Association as well as local farmers and dealers.

Registration is not absolutely necessary, but the organizers would be happy if interested parties would report to Marion Duppel beforehand to facilitate the preparations. Your e-mail address is m.deuppel@estaruppin.de .

A look across the borders - the future of agriculture

The fair breakfast in Neuruppin is not only local culinary delights, but also part of a greater movement. Farmers worldwide are faced with the challenge of passing on their businesses to the next generation. Unfortunately, many young people do not find agriculture to be attractive and migrate to the cities. The average age of farmers is already 55 years old, which makes the Situation more difficult for future food production.

Fairtrade has selected five ways to support young producers. This includes education, entrepreneurship, income generation, lobbying and strategic development. The focus is on offering young people perspectives in agriculture and actively involving them in decision -making processes. This not only consolidates the companies, but also strengthened the communities.

Take the opportunity to not only eat well at the fair breakfast in Neuruppin, but also to be part of this important movement. Let us stand up for a fairer and more sustainable agriculture!
