Project aim:
To protect natural resources on its territory, EPAGE Sequana has set an ambitious objective with the Water and Sustainable Agriculture project in Châtillonnais: to reconcile the establishment of payments for environmental services and the development of remunerative sectors for agricultural production.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
We have supported this challenge in partnership with SOLAGRO and Cabinet Brun Cessac Avocats Associés. The keystone of our approach: consultation between private actors (farmers, marketers, processors) and the public (communities and institutions for the protection of natural resources), for a convergence of interests, the creation of an operational mechanism and the emergence of innovative governance.
To this end, we carried out a market study, a supply chain modeling, a territorial animation and accompanied the project leaders in the implementation of this supply chain (drafting of a roadmap, proposal of a business model and business plan).

Protecting Drinking Water Through Organic Farming in Central Bavaria

Development of regional organic supply chains for the preventive protection of groundwater in the Upper Palatinate Jura (Central Bavaria) and surrounding areas

The association of eleven water suppliers in the Upper Palatinate Jura region wants to promote organic farming to ensure water quality in their watershed.  To achieve this, regional organic supply chains must be created or strengthened while working in synergy with the four organic model regions located within the catchment area. The pilot project, unique in Bavaria, is funded by the Rural Development Office (Amt für ländliche Entwicklung).

Bio Regio Management in Munich 2

Munich's ‘Haus der Kost’ (House of Food), the Competence Centre for Sustainable Nutrition which opened in April 2024, has set itself the goal of increasing the proportion of organic food in out-of-home catering in the city of Munich. To this end, organic regional market structures are to be identified and strengthened and/or established and stabilised. In order to fulfil these tasks, a coordination office ‘Bio-Regio-Management für Lebensmittel in der Außer-Haus-Verpflegung’ (Management of regional organic food in the out-of-home catering) was created, which Ecozept and its subcontractors will continue to support for a further two years.

FOODCoST

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).
