The "Transparent Production" initiative has been running in Baden-Württemberg for 29 years and draws consumers' attention to the wide variety of regional products, allows them to visit the production facilities and gives them the opportunity to talk to the producers in person. In addition to information about production, culinary delights and an entertaining program ensure that "Transparent Production" is a popular excursion destination for the whole family.
The "Gläserne Produktion" is coordinated in the district of Ludwigsburg and in the city of Stuttgart by the Agriculture Department of the Ludwigsburg District Office. Department head Sußner honored the participating businesses with a certificate from the Ministry for Rural Areas and Consumer Protection. "Especially in this day and age, it is important to facilitate dialog between consumers and producers and to give the public the chance to get an idea of modern agriculture and the food trade for themselves. These insights are enormously important in order to strengthen consumer confidence in local businesses," said Sußner. He thanked the participating companies and their many helpers for their great commitment and the successful events.
