Every year since 1979, on October 16, food has been celebrated around the world, under the impetus of the United Nations. Forced by obligations and motivated by national frameworks, but also driven by their own team dynamics, many healthcare and medico-social establishments are multiplying initiatives to avoid food waste, improve the quality of prepared dishes and recycle bio-waste.
Reduce waste and give pleasure
On November 25, Dijon University Hospital signed an agreement with the Food Bank, and will begin donating its surplus food from the central kitchen to the association free of charge.
A successful approach to catering
"Our sustainable development approach has enabled us to think differently, with an eye to the long term," explains Catherine Burstert, deputy director of the Résidence de l'Argentière (38). Major changes have been implemented, particularly in the catering sector. The possibility of a double choice of vegetables and starches has considerably reduced food waste, with each resident in control of the contents of his or her plate.
Le Mans hospital helps people in precarious situations
In 2013, Le Mans Hospital's catering department introduced a food donation policy. This initiative is part of the national pact to combat food waste, and has enabled us to open a social restaurant in Le Mans for people in extremely precarious situations.
Innovative catering at Clinique Pasteur
Catering at the Clinique Pasteur (31) is an integral part of care: organic fruit and vegetables produced by a neighboring ESAT, which enriches its soils with compost produced from the clinic's fermentable waste, a reduced and selected range of supplies, training for kitchen staff in the benefits of Omega 3, a vegetable garden cultivated on the clinic's roofs, and an in-house grocery store. To discover in pictures.
To whet the taste buds but also the curiosity, committed collective catering initiatives
Our eating habits can have a greater or lesser impact on our environment. Questioning and changing our eating habits makes perfect sense. Offering low-carbon menus throughout an establishment can substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions - from minus 15% to minus 30% or more, depending on the meal - while raising awareness among staff, patients and residents of the carbon footprint of each of our meals.
