The AssietteVerte project is located in the restaurant and buildings of CROUS and UFR de Versailles, in the city of Versailles. In this location, AssietteVerte has developed a unique project in Ile-de-France to provide organic foods from local producers to the restaurants and to compost the wastes.
This project aims at providing the restaurant with local organic food and trying to implement an efficient farm to fork system. But the projects also make the students and other restaurant’s guests sensitive to sustainable development issues especially regarding the food in our plate and the wastes. Thus, since last year, the project makes the students sort their wastes in order to compost it.
AssietteVerte promotes a healthy food for the environment and people.
The AssietteVerte objectives aim at helping territories through a social, economic and environmental transition. By helping local farmers, AssietteVerte preserves the biodiversity of the region and its agricultural heritage.
More than 10 million tons of wastes by year would be revalorized into a natural fertilizer. A huge promotion campaign has also been implemented to make sure that the 600 guests a day sort their wastes every day.
Regarding the supply of food, the project would like to increase the king of food provided in the restaurant by local farmers. Indeed, there is only three products which correspond to a real farm to fork system. But 5 products more could be supplied by the end of 2014.
The project aims at spreading the good practices and tries to convince other restaurants from the region to implement this successful initiative.
New tools for sensitization are being developed to inform younger people from canteen and workplaces school.
Launched in 2008, the specificity of AssietteVerte project is to develop both food system supplying, massive communication towards students and guests from restaurants, and to make the guests sort their wastes by implementing sorting system 2000 characters max (spaces included).
