Press release by: Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Viticulture
20 innovative projects, 12 inspiring finalists, and two winners chosen by the public: the first edition of ‘The Good Fork’ award lived up to all expectations. Launched on 16 October 2025 to mark World Food Day, this competition, organised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Viticulture and IMS Luxembourg, highlighted the concrete commitment of Luxembourg’s stakeholders to more sustainable food.
20 candidates, a turnout that has exceeded expectations
No fewer than 20 projects were submitted, a figure that delighted the organisers. “We are very pleased with this level of engagement, which demonstrates the growing interest in these issues,” the Ministry and IMS Luxembourg stated jointly. Among these initiatives, 12 finalists (six per category) had the opportunity to present their best practices at an inspiring and interactive ceremony on 17 March 2026.
The winners, chosen by public vote, are:
- Category: ‘Fight against food waste’: the Caddy workshop by Stëmm vun der Strooss
- Category: ‘Supply of regional and seasonal produce’: a local alternative to coffee made from lupin beans by ECOFFEE
Practical solutions for responsible eating
Martine Hansen, Minister for Agriculture, Food and Viticulture, welcomed this initiative: “The Good Fork demonstrates that the food transition is well and truly underway. Each project reflects the innovation and commitment of local stakeholders to making food more sustainable and accessible.”
To ensure the lasting impact of these initiatives, a brochure setting out best practices from all participants is available
in French and in English.
An event that brings people together
With active participation from professionals and an engaged audience, this inaugural event confirmed the key role of ‘The Good Fork’: to shine a spotlight on change-makers, inspire new initiatives and embed the food transition in the realities on the ground.
A big thank you to the teams at the ATP workshops for creating the two trophies, for their dedication, creativity and the quality of their work, all of which have played a key part in making this ceremony an even more meaningful occasion.
