Project details
Strategic et operational support to develop the sustainable procurement in the Canton of Vaud


Description

  • Project duration: 2018 - 2019
  • Client: Canton of Vaud
  • Country or region: Switzerland
  • Department(s):
    Sustainable catering

Project aim:
The Canton of Vaud in French-speaking Switzerland surrounds the north and east of Lake Geneva and encompasses towns and villages in the densely populated plain, as well as medium and high mountainous rural areas. In this highly contrasted territory, the canton's administration has made the supply of local products for collective catering one of its major objectives.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
Ecozept and Delphine Ducoeurjoly were commissioned to build and lay the foundations for an operation to develop local supply chains for public collective catering sites: a multi-level survey of political, economic and collective catering stakeholders was conducted and a concept for the integration of Vaud products into collective catering was developed. All the elements for practical implementation were in place - we recommended, among other things, targeted support for pilot sites and stimulation of supply at the level of Vaud production.

Client:
Canton of Vaud

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).

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.
