Direct Trade in Karlsruhe: How conscious shopping creates change
What lands on our plates every day – and who benefits from it? In the talk Direct Trade – shopping (almost) without supermarket, Frank Herrmann will show specific ways to a fairer, more sustainable, and independent diet on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the Karlsruhe City Library.
Regional paths instead of anonymous supply chains
In the reading café of the central library in the New Ständehaus, the focus is on regional direct marketing, fair payment, and solidarity cooperation between producers and consumers. The lecture illuminates how conscious shopping can succeed in everyday life and what political levers strengthen fair and sustainable economic structures.
Practical knowledge for everyday life
Frank Herrmann connects vivid practical examples with solid expertise on fair trade, sustainable consumption, and global supply chains. The focus is on concrete courses of action: Where do products come from, how are prices formed, and what alternatives to the classic supermarket arise through world shops, direct marketing, and regional networks?
Experienced speaker with an international perspective
The business economist, journalist, and sustainability expert lived for about 20 years in Latin America, where he worked as a development expert and tour guide. His experiences were incorporated into the Stefan Loose travel guides for Peru, West Bolivia, and Guatemala, as well as into the shopping guide Fair shopping – but how?. His manual FAIRtravel was awarded the ITB Award. Recently, The Taming of the Powerful. Why corporations need clear rules of the game was published.
Fair Weeks Karlsruhe as a framework
The event takes place as part of the Fair Weeks Karlsruhe and is organized in cooperation with the world shop and the Karlsruhe City Library. This event management connects educational work, local networking, and societal dialogue. The audience atmosphere promises an open evening for all those interested in fair food, sustainability, and global justice.
Conclusion: Sustainability begins with the next purchase
The talk provides food for thought, background knowledge, and practical guidance for shopping with more transparency and responsibility. Those who want to not only discuss sustainable nutrition, but also implement it in everyday life, can expect an informative and inspiring evening in the New Ständehaus. Admission is free, no registration is required – due to limited seating, early arrival is recommended.
