The declared goal of the United Nations is: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Specifically, by 2030...
...achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.
...halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.
...substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
...encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle.

This is why sustainable consumption is a significant topic for the university, which strives for intensive transfer with the region, e.g. through its sustainable evening market which offers regional, organic and fair products.

In specific terms, what is the university doing here?
