Strategies and approaches for the successful introduction of organic food in the local authority catering sector.


Project aim:

The aim of the project is to update the guidelines 'More organic in local authorities', which have been in existence since 2017. Ecozept and its partners are adapting the content in line with changes in administrative and funding legislation and are providing up-to-date examples of good practice from different areas of local authority catering.

Activities of ECOZEPT:

Ecozept is leading this project in cooperation with FiBL Projekte GmbH and Prof Dr Zeiss. In addition to the purely editorial revision, the project will focus on the following activities: comparison and evaluation of existing guidelines, legal expertise on selected topics such as the new German regulation on organic catering or public procurement law, as well as research and preparation of current best practice examples from the German Organic Cities Network.

Overview of the Organic Brewing Industry and analysis of the market potential in the Greater Region

The Lorraine Regional Natural Parc and its partners launched the Brass Hop Bio project to establish an organic brewing industry across the Greater Region — Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle and Moselle (France); the province of Liège (Belgium); the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg; and Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland (Germany). The goal is to assess the current state of the existing industry, analyze the potential market for regional organic barley and hops among brewers, and the market for regional organic beers among consumers. The final step in this process is to collaboratively develop an action plan with and for the economic stakeholders (producers, cooperatives and collectors, malters and hop processors, and brewers).

A Study of Organic Corn, Sunflower, Soft Wheat and Soybean Supply Chains Worldwide

Following our studies on organic field crops in 2021 and on organic wheat and soybeans in 2023, Agence Bio, Terres Univia and Intercéréales seek to consolidate knowledge of the global organic field crop sector. To this end, they seek to continue analyzing the organic wheat and soybean supply chains while expanding the scope to include organic corn and sunflowers across 44 countries.

This third market study provides an overview of these supply chains in various countries, ranging from production (acreage, volumes, prices) to processing (volumes of oilcake, oil, flour, soy-based foods, etc.), as well as trade flows and end-product markets. The study includes an analysis of Europe’s dependence on imports, the political and regulatory environment in third countries and the identification of the main economic players in the various countries.
