Why we love it?

After enabling students at the Crous de Strasbourg to choose the vegan option every day, Assiettes Végétales is now tackling school catering to democratize a more plant-based diet. The aim is to help students, from primary to secondary school, to adopt good eating habits for the rest of their lives: healthy, affordable and sustainable food that helps preserve the planet... What a win-win-win project!

Solution

Assiettes Végétales supports local authorities and canteens in charge of school catering towards the introduction of a daily vegetarian option to complement the classic offer. 

Our actions :
- define clear, quantified objectives with local authorities on vegan meals;
- train canteen chefs in vegan cooking;
- design tasty, balanced turnkey recipes;
- organize events to discover vegan options and raise awareness among pupils of the benefits of a more plant-based diet;
- label innovative canteens and local authorities.


The money will be used for

- Follow-up with chefs trained in vegetarian cooking
- Design balanced, tasty turnkey vegetarian recipes
- Organize weeks dedicated to vegetarian offerings
- Print materials to raise awareness of the environment on plates
- Organize the labeling of innovative canteens and territories
- Enable campaign managers to travel to the field to train chefs, award the "Assiettes Vertes" label and frame projects
Many people tell me they wish they'd grown up with a positive diet. For the new generation, it's not too late!
