Question 33922 — higher education

Summary

Mrs. Michèle de Vaucouleurs draws the attention of the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation to the vegetarian offer within the establishments of the National Center for University and School Work (CNOUS). Increasing the share of plant proteins in the diet is one of the urgent measures recommended by many scientists and national, European and international institutions. to improve public health and fight climate change. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food also recommends the consumption of plant proteins in collective catering (action 24 of the national food plan and national recovery strategy using plant proteins). Despite the announcement at the start of the 2017 school year of a daily vegetarian menu by the CNOUS, many students regret that this offer is often assimilated to toppings, that is to say starchy foods and vegetables (as at the CROUS in Aix-Marseille-Avignon where this formula is described on their site at the beginning of November 2020). Such a main course, just impoverished, is neither balanced, nor invigorating, nor attractive. However, when the vegetarian offering is of quality and highlighted, between 20 and 30% of guests choose it. Thus, it would be possible that at least one third of the total of 70 million annual CROUS meals meet expectations and are ecologically responsible, as is already the case in certain French university restaurants. She therefore questions him about the Government's intentions to generalize the offer of quality vegetarian menus based on vegetable proteins, within CNOUS restaurants and cafeterias.
