Question 31385 — higher education

Summary

Mr. Cédric Villani questions the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation on the share of plant proteins in food. This is one of the urgent measures recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate (IPCC), the United Nations (UN) and thousands of scientists around the world to counter climate change and environmental destruction. A plant-based dish emits 60% less greenhouse gas than a meat dish. Massaging the choice of plants would be a particularly effective public policy in collective catering. In addition, ANSES recommends for public health to consume more cereals, legumes, nuts, vegetables and fruits. Demand from users, mainly students, is strong and growing. The CROUS vegetarian offer would win to be mainly based on plant proteins, available daily in all their catering points and presented to users by default instead of being an option. It would therefore be possible for at least a third of the total of 70 million annual CROUS meals to be ecologically responsible, as is already the case in certain French university restaurants. He therefore asks her if she intends to develop an offer vegetarian rich in plant proteins in the food offering of university restaurants and CROUS cafeterias, and what measures it intends to take to ensure that this is the case (this written question was written in conjunction with the “vegetable plates” association).
