Project aim:
The regional council in Occitanie has raised the food policy to one of its „major regional tasks in 2018“ and fixed an ambitious objective: in 2021 a 40% share of local or “high quality food” in high schools canteens shall be reached, half of it coming from organic agriculture. 191 schools of 2nd degree as well as 2 central kitchens of the region are concerned.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
In collaboration with Bio Occitanie (Fédération Régionale de l'Agriculture Biologique) we have accompanied the change in practices at the level of establishments in 8 departments (Aveyron, Lozère, Gers, Tarn et Garonne, Haute Garonne, Hérault, Gard, Aude) in order to restructure supplies through regional channels.
Within the framework of this project, we have mobilised our know-how anchored in the operational field and covering a wide range of themes: sustainable procurement, logistics issues, drafting of public contracts, staff training, awareness-raising of guests, communication actions, etc. We have also carried out a sourcing of the offer available in the region and designed several tools to accompany the change (food waste, public markets guide, low temperature cooking guide, vegetarian menu guide, etc.).
More generally, we have taken care to make the link with the obligations of the so-called Egalim law in order to guarantee the consistency of regional actions with the law.

Updating the regional database on organic farming in Baden-Württemberg

Ecozept has been commissioned by the Ministry of Food, Rural Areas and Consumer Protection (MLR) to comprehensively update the data on regional organic farming and the demand for organic food in Baden-Württemberg on the basis of the Ecozept-FiBL study "EVA - BIOBW 2030", published in 2021. The background to this is the further development of the "Action Plan Organic from Baden-Württemberg", for which the update provides an important data basis.

On the basis of this updated data, the MLR's measures for the expansion of organic farming can be designed to be as targeted and supportive as possible.

Diagnosis of agriculture and collective catering in the Charente department (France)

The Department of Charente wants to support the local and sustainable supply of collective catering for middle schools and medico-social establishments in its territory. The department would like to know the available agricultural supply, the current outlets and the constraints encountered in supplying collective catering. At the same time, a diagnosis of the colleges and medico-social establishments is carried out to characterize the demand and to identify actions to improve supply (fight against food waste, new technical equipment, training of canteen teams, etc.).
