Question 30334 — local authorities

Summary

Ms. Perrine Goulet draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities to the progress mentioned in Article 24 of Law No. 2018-938 of October 30, 2018 for the balance of commercial relations in the agricultural and food sector and sustainable healthy food accessible to all (EGALIM). II of this article, voted by Parliament a year and a half ago, recalls that the legal entities under public law, responsible for collective catering services have the duty to develop the acquisition of products within the framework of territorial projects. In other words, local authorities which are responsible for supplying food products to local public educational establishments must encourage short supply chains. This development is not negotiable, just like the objective to have 50% of quality sustainable food products, including at least 20% of products from organic farming by January 1, 2022. Indeed, collective catering is a significant means in the creation of local economic fabric. On the one hand, it allows producers to sell their products locally and sustainably. On the other hand, it is obvious that it is preferable for users of the collective catering to be able to have fresh and local food products. Finally, promoting short circuits is also an effective tool for highlighting the agricultural heritage of a region and thus promoting its development. In fact, the investment of local authorities in these short circuits for collective catering is essential for their success. So, she wants to know the effectiveness of this legislative provision, particularly in school canteens.
