Die Untersuchung fand in drei Schritten statt. Im Sommer 2015 wurde eine standardisierte Befragung der Ernährungswirtschaft in Niedersachsen mit 200 antwortenden Betrieben durchgeführt, die den Hauptteil der Studie bildet. Zweitens wurden im Herbst 2015 bzw. Winter 2015/16 Workshops zum Thema Fachkräftebedarf ('Fachkräfteworkshops') in einer ländlichen und in einer eher urbanen Region Niedersachsens organisiert, dokumentiert und im Nachgang ausgewertet. Um einen tieferen Einblick in das Zusammenspiel verschiedener regionaler Organisationen zu erhalten, wurden drittens im Frühsommer 2016 Interviews mit Beteiligten regionaler Weiterbildungslandschaften in ausgewählten niedersächsischen Regionen geführt.
