Lukas Reiche
Content & Nutritional Excellence working student
Joining the content team at KoRo as an ecotrophology student? Sounds more unusual than it is, because food needs to be marketed and described in an appealing way. Because let's be honest: as consumers, we are grateful for unknown product highlights in the KoRo shop when we learn a little more about how the food tastes, what it can be used for, what health benefits it brings and what we can do with the content of certain nutrients. And this is where Lukas comes in! He is on the trail of food law regulations and checks that our product descriptions, FAQs and other information comply with the regulations (keyword: health claims). But we don't want to miss out on his creative side either. From time to time, Lukas also writes blog posts on exciting nutritional topics.
In addition to the world of paragraphs and regulations, you can find Lukas either on the sports field or in the stadium playing or watching football, jogging or walking in the forest or on challenging hiking tours in national parks (preferably in the Alps). When travelling, Lukas almost always takes his camera with him to capture the most diverse landscapes. When he's not travelling, you'll find Lukas planting on the balcony or in the garden! And hopefully soon you'll also find him successfully harvesting vegetables and herbs to use in dishes.

Deep dive: KoRo's supply chain
It is very important to us here at KoRo to shorten supply chains where possible and to be transparent about them, in order to enable consumers to make informed decisions. But what exactly we mean by short supply chains sometimes raises questions. This is why we want to explain how we approach the topic of supply chains, what we have already implemented, and where there is still room for improvement. As a comparatively young company on the market, we are still far from perfect and are on a journey towards more direct trade routes and more transparent supply chains. In this article, we would like to give you an insight into the challenges we face on this journey, why transparency in supply chains is important, and how we are approaching this topic.
