Question 18512 — agri-food

Summary

Mr. Jean-Baptiste Moreau draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the European program "fruit, vegetables and milk in schools" and its articulation with the objectives set in the law for the balance of commercial relations in the agricultural sector and healthy and sustainable food which was promulgated on November 1, 2018. The agriculture and food law provides for the implementation by January 1, 2022 objectives of 50% local products or under the sign of origin and quality including 20% ​​products from organic farming in collective catering. Since August 1, 2017, French primary and secondary schools, communities, collective catering, product suppliers and distributors can benefit from the European “fruit, vegetables and milk in schools” program, financed 100% by the EU under the Common Agricultural Policy, to the tune of 35 million euros to be used by 2021. This program allows them to distribute fruits, fresh vegetables and dairy products to children and adolescents in order to guarantee a varied, balanced and healthy diet. These establishments can also use these funds to set up educational activities integrating the notion of “eating well”. Promote the benefits of a healthy diet for children and adolescents, awakening their taste for quality food products and encouraging the adoption of good eating habits is at the heart of the law resulting from the States General of Agriculture and Food. In this sense, it is essential to create a link between young generations and producers through the promotion of short circuits, local or regional products. or organic products in collective catering, establishments have a responsibility in their choice of supply. Thus, the European “fruit, vegetables and milk in schools” program appears to be a lever for achieving the objectives set. In this logic, he asks for a precise inventory of the number of establishments which have made a request to benefit from the “fruits, vegetables and milk in schools”, amounts already allocated and funds remaining available. He also asks how this program could be better coordinated with the agriculture and food law and whether directing this fund towards the achievement of the objectives set in the agriculture and food law is possible.
