Project details
Joint supply administration for the delivery of local and biological products for catering in Loire Atlantique


Description

  • Project duration: 2020 - 2020
  • Client: Conseil Départemental de Loire Atlantique
  • Country or region: France
  • Department(s):
    Supply chains and territories
    Sustainable catering

Project aim:
The Loire-Atlantique Department had for several years been carrying out various actions to supply the collective catering sector with local, high-quality and organic food products. In order to go further and achieve the ambitious project objectives, the Department was looking for shared solutions to manage supplies, making it possible to remove the obstacles encountered by the catering companies and local food providers.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
Ecozept and its partner Espelia have combinated their skills to support this approach: the aim was to use experiences gained in other areas and to identify relevant pooling solutions for the area, taking into account the current situation, the players already involved and the specific needs and expectations of catering companies in the Loire-Atlantique department. Finally, the aim was to define a financial and governance model suitable for the system.

Promotion of sustainable food in out-of-home catering in the department "Bouches-du Rhône" (South of France)

Since 2020, the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan region and the Arles area have been jointly implementing a regional food project (PAT) in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. PAT's follow a similar approach to the eco-model regions in Germany, but are not limited to organic food. The two local authorities want to support the region and especially the municipalities in their efforts to offer accessible, local, sustainable and high-quality food in out-of-home catering for all population groups.

Food Costing and internalisation of Externalities for System Transition

Current food systems don’t reflect the true costs of food. In order to achieve sustainable food systems, the project’s objective is to develop tools, business models and policies to measure and value positive and negative external costs of food. By internalising climate, biodiversity, environmental, social and health externalities, these costs are going to be reflected in market prices and thus in the decision making of actors in food value chains. FOODCoST (Food Costing and internalisation of Externalities for System Transition) will guide business, policy makers and other actors to support the transition towards a sustainable food system. This EU-research project is coordinated by Stichting Wageningen Research (Netherlands).
