The Project \u00ab\u00a0Familles \u00e0 Alimentation Positive\u00a0\u00bb (sustainable food families) is an adaptation of the concept \u201cFamilles \u00e0 Energie Positive\u201d (energy efficient families). It is based on challenging 4 groups of families to change for a more sustainable behaviour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The project leader is a regional group of NGO promoting organic agriculture (CORABIO). For few years, they are working on changing the common perception about organic products such as: being expensive, hard to find and to use, less good, etc\u2026<\/p>\n

The main goals:<\/p>\n

– increase the demand for organic and local products to develop the organic agriculture<\/p>\n

– allow access to organic and local product for all, regardless the social background<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this project, the committed families are \u201ccompeting\u201d to develop their use of sustainable food: local, organic, fresh product, etc\u2026 They are coached for few months, learning about sustainable food production and use. The progresses are checked by the rate of sustainable food in the grocery shopping list. At the end, the family with the best improvement wins.<\/p>\n

The 36 families involved come from various social and ethnic backgrounds: deprived areas, low-income households, middle or upper-class, etc\u2026<\/p>\n

The end is planned for next mid-June. First results show:<\/p>\n
