All these challenges affect the whole world, so cannot be solved unilaterally. The baking sector and each producer can only start with him or herself, e.g. regarding climate protection or food overproduction, and the sector has been actively involved in problem-solving for many years. Thus many bakeries pay great attention to reducing their CO2 footprint by using renewable energies or fuel cells, and oven heat recovery and good insulation have been self-evident for many years. Freezer refrigerants are as environmentally friendly as possible, and no company makes baked products for the trashcan, instead of which scrap dough has always been reprocessed, and the returns rate of fresh baked goods kept as low as possible. These steps will all certainly help, the baking sector has done its homework and will continue to work on solutions. Ultimately, however, policy-makers will be called upon, because the task of bakeries is to supply the population with food, for which they need appropriate raw materials and resources. That’s why the baking sector cannot take care of this on its own.

Overall, however, I have a positive attitude. Bakeries worldwide face the same challenges, and new opportunities will certainly arise.

We should not forget that another reason why the baking sector throughout the world is successful is because it has repeatedly met the challenges. Nowadays, consumers on every continent eat baked products. There is an international demand for baguettes, ciabatta, croissants and white bread, as well as for cookies and waffles, and there is further growth in the need. Wheat consumption is rising and consumption habits are changing, especially in countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, China or the Philippines, as well as in the Middle East or India.

Baked products manufacturers, machinery constructors, raw materials suppliers, farmers, breeders, and also we as a publisher, must make further efforts to survive in the future and also to improve, to enable us to hand something on to the next generation.

As a publisher for the baking sector we are pleased with the increasing demand for our e-paper editions. This confirms to us that our readers are interested in the contents, e.g. reportage and interviews and also in technical reports, conferences, trade fairs and market analyses, as well as new research reports.

The e-papers of our magazines offer several advantages: they save resources and our readers receive the issues quicker, can save the magazines as pdf files, and can also search through them for keywords when necessary.
