Our Top 30 Changemaker Report is online 🚀.
The Changemaker List is a matter close to our hearts at the Food Campus Berlin. Every day, we meet inspiring people who are shaping the future of food sustainably with their visionary ideas, their determination and their actions.
These encounters gave rise to the idea of the Changemaker List 2025 and the accompanying report. Our aim is to express appreciation for innovative solutions to transform our food system.
Together with EatSmarter and the dfv media group, we want to give visibility to the people behind these solutions and ensure that their voices are heard throughout the sector.
Let their stories encourage you to break new ground yourself!

💬 First quotes from the report
Without whom will the transformation not work?
"In my view, democracy is a very important prerequisite for social innovation and sustainable development in all its dimensions."
Prof. Dr. Hermann Lotze-Campen (Head of "Climate Resilience", Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research)
"If society doesn't go along with it, it will be difficult. It needs acceptance and a critical mass of people who are convinced of the transformation. That's why early education and participation are so important."
Dr. Sebastian Rakers (Founder, Bluu Seafood)
"At the end of the day, we need a product that tastes good to customers and offers them added value. Transformation for the sake of transformation is not helpful."
Simon Tress (organic top chef, TressBrueder)
"Without you! If you are reading this, don't ask yourself who is responsible or who needs to take action. It doesn't work without you!"
Dr. Felix Berndt (doctor and nutrition expert, Doc Felix)
