Out of this network, three young men eager to give more sense to there work have created the company: a baker and 2 young white collars found of biking.<\/p>\n<p>Three men, 3 rules:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Socially conscious company<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Eco-friendly system<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Sustainable quality food<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Build up as a \u201ccooperative\u201d, the company has been partially founded by citizens, becoming by the way shareholders. One man, one vote is one of the basic rules of \u201cthe cooperative\u201d. It allows a strong involvement of employees and shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Some personal money and a loan did complete the investment necessary to build up an all new wood baking oven. They settled in a deprived area of the city, for two reasons: a low estate market price and a strong will to bring something new in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>They produce 1 ton of organic hand-made bread per week. Most of the ingredients come from high quality organic suppliers and for specific breads from local producers. 20% sold in the shop \/ 80% delivered.<\/p>\n<p>They use 3 cargo-bikes with electric assistance to deliver canteens, restaurants and purchasing groups. They also sell on organic street markets. The company has a turnover about 18k\u20ac\/month after 1 year. They are expecting a balanced business in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits (environmental\/social\/economical\u2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bikes instead of cars<\/li>\n<li>Small scale combination of sustainable transportation<\/li>\n<li>Company socially conscious<\/li>\n<li>Organic product<\/li>\n<li>Cross-cutting company : environmental, social and economical benefits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>What are the lessons learn to be used\/transferred\/implemented in the other partner cities? \u00a0Local production<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This young company settled in a deprived area has been designed and founded by citizens.<br \/>\n1 baker + 2 riders = Organic bread produced and delivered by cargo-bike in Lyon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1900,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[81,42,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-amersfoort-meeting","category-delivering","category-lyon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1893"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1902,"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893\/revisions\/1902"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sustainable-everyday-project.net\/urbact-sustainable-food\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
