What is WeltTellerFeld?
The WeltTellerFeld is a place that shows how much area our food takes up in Austria and other countries around the world. The field measures 3,000 m2. That is the area behind the average Austrian diet per year. About 50 different plants are grown here. One third are plants that we eat directly, such as fruit, vegetables or grains. On the other two thirds, plants are grown, which serve as food for the animals whose meat, milk and eggs we eat. More than half of the area is not located in Austria but in other countries around the world.
