Excellent regional

Sustainability – a motto of life in Carinthia

Sustainability, quality of life and living together also play a role in the "Ausgezeichnet Regional" award. 

The diversity of Carinthia's landscapes and regions is matched by the diversity of its culinary offerings and coexistence. And sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in this. This is also demonstrated by the projects that have already been awarded prizes as part of the "ausgezeichnet regional" award.

Sustainability in the region not only means using natural resources carefully, but also having a sense of proportion when it comes to living together.

A Carinthian idea conquers the whole world
These include the Slow Food Villages in Carinthia. "This project was unique in the world," recalls Gottfried Bachler from Slow Food Carinthia. There are now a total of 12 villages in our province that have dedicated themselves to the Slow Food label. "These are all places that stand for a good life," says Bachler in an interview with the "Krone" newspaper. And the project has not only secured the "excellent regional" award, but is now conquering the whole world. "There are already 180 countries involved in our movement."
