 ECOMEALS FOR CHILDREN
|
One of the topics often covered by Agenda 21 concerns ecological food. Many people wish to see more ecological food especially in schools and at childcare providers'.
"Ecomeals" is a cooperation project between the Environmental Strategic Office, the Procurement Authority and local districts in Göteborg. The aim of the project is to stimulate, inspire and support good examples in the city so that a growing part of the provisions served in schools will be ecological. Through this, one hopes to increase the supply of ecological foods and to influence producers and purveyors to adjust their products to catering facilities. By an increased demand for ecological provision you can influence quality and hopefully price. |

Well-attended seminars have been held for the cooks working in schools and day care centres, with inspiring discourses and presentations of good examples in the local districts. One of the cooks has written a cookery book where the ecological ingredients are marked and the book has been distributed to all day care centres in Göteborg. |
The project will continue with more seminars and an extension to more districts. Hopefully the care of elderly and the medical care sectors will join the project, too. The project will be also extended to include seminars for teachers in domestic science with the aim of using more ecological products in the teaching of domestic science thereby influencing the young to eat more ecological food.
The project has been going on for more than one year and already a number of schools and children day care centres are now serving ecological products. |
