Ma Cantine Autrement, sustainable food in school canteens
Support to innovations in school canteens in Montpellier Metropole
The City of Montpellier launched a vast and ambitious project in 2016 to streamline its school catering system by promoting and developing sustainable food for children eating lunch in the city’s school canteens. This Ma Cantine Autrement (MCA) project is designed as an interactive system around four primary pillars: a purchasing policy, production management, meal distribution in school restaurants and sustainable development awareness.

The application of the URBAL method to the “Ma cantine autrement” program made it possible to identify the impact pathways of 12 program activities on the different dimensions of sustainability. The results obtained were then reworked in collaboration with the Food Policy Department of the City of Montpellier (DPA) in order to link them to the program’s operational objectives, to establish the articulation with various normative benchmarks for assessing the sustainability of food systems and to identify or modify existing or future impact indicators for the 2020 assessment. This poster presents the results of this collaboration.
