Getting sustainable food on everybody's plate


Food public procurement is a decisive lever to address transition to sustainable food systems, that local authorities now fully include in their policies. Reciprocally, demand for more virtuous products in the catering sector is an opportunity for organic and local supply chains to find market opportunities. The move towards locally connected, environmentally friendly and quality-oriented practices is a challenge, that impacts all dimensions of a catering service.

To address this challenge, we support our clients on a wide range of actions, from strategic support to operational advice: strategic plans and pilot operations, supply management, logistics, public procurement procedures, staff training, awareness raising, communication, etc. We put emphasis on bottom-up solutions for perennial changes.
