Résumé : |
Access to healthy, sustainable food for all is at the heart of current public policy. Territorial projects are increasingly developing in favour of more sustainable food systems. Adopting a territorial approach to food encourages local supply chains and enables food systems to be re-localized. In this context, the EGALIM law is taking form, promoting the adoption of local supply channels. This work is part of the CALALOU project, which aims to analyse the capacity of local agricultural production to meet the objective of improving the nutritional quality of food in Guadeloupe while limiting the impact on the environment. We aim to assess the possibility of re-localizing vegetable supply circuits for school canteens in Guadeloupe based on a multi-disciplinary approach combining nutritional, economic and geographic concepts.
On the basis of field surveys, we determined the production capacity of small and medium-sized local farms to meet the consumption demands of school canteens for 10 types of vegetables and developed a model for allocating natural resources based on geographical distance to identify the nearest geographical area for supplying 15 school canteen kitchens. These findings were then presented in the form of maps showing optimized distance foodshed models for each school-kitchen. This study also highlights the importance of studying factors that influence the diversity of vegetables in school meals. This research paper provides valuable results for local authorities in their decision-making process regarding the re-localization of supply channels for school canteens in Guadeloupe. |
