Save the Spud – Together Against Food Waste!

After several months, the nationwide sustainability initiative "Rettet die Knolle!" (Save the Spud!) is coming to a close. Together with 32 other student services organizations, we took a stand for greater appreciation of food, sustainability, and the responsible use of resources.

The campaign is ending, but the message remains: food is valuable and belongs on the plate, not in the trash!

Thank you to everyone who participated and enjoyed the meals!

Silver in the 2026 PETA Canteen Ranking

Our vegan offerings have made a great impression: Studierendenwerk Vorderpfalz was awarded Silver in the 2026 PETA canteen ranking.

This Silver award places our dining services among those institutions that already provide a strong range of plant-based options and are continuously developing them further.

For us, this award is not only a wonderful recognition of the hard work put in by our canteen teams but also a source of motivation: we aim to further expand our vegan offerings and provide our students with a diverse selection of plant-based dishes.

We are delighted with this achievement and remain committed to bringing even more plant-based variety to the table!

Is eating at the cafeteria a luxury?

In the *Frankfurter Allgemeine* column "Uni live," columnist Tom Konjer offers what we consider an apt summary of the current state of university canteens and student services organizations in Germany.
After all, in our view, the university canteen is more than just a place to eat—it is an integral part of the student experience.
Rising prices are making it increasingly difficult for many students to afford a hot lunch. While other countries, such as France, provide greater support for their canteens, Germany often lacks the necessary subsidies from the state level.
Affordable canteen meals are not a luxury; they are part of the social infrastructure at higher education institutions.
A student's education should not be thwarted by financial constraints, and affordable canteen dining fosters equal opportunity, community, and inclusion.
Food should not be a luxury—not even for students!
