  • Converting the try: Mouans-Sartoux builds on its European transfer experience to create a "French BioCanteens" network

    The creation of a municipal farm in Troyan, the implementation of education actions in Rosignano-Marittimo and in Torres Vedras, the change of the cooking habits in Pays des Condruses... are few of the many examples of BioCanteens' successful transfer, that was showcased during the Mid-Term Review in October 2019. Following these great achievements, the municipality of Mouans-Sartoux launched in October 2019 a French network to ensure the distribution of sustainable school meals in participating cities as a key lever towards the development of an integrated local agri-food approach, protecting both citizens’ health and the environment.
