THE POWER OF PUBLIC FOOD PROCUREMENT

The Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP), Municipality of Copenhagen and Roskilde University (RUC) cordially invite you to the conference “The power of public food procurement: The transformative potential of school meals for children aged 1-16″ in Copenhagen. The
event seeks to inspire and encourage a broad dialogue on how cities, together, can contribute to meeting these objectives, fostering healthier communities and improving the well-being of our society.

The conference aims to:

  • Inspire politicians to maximise opportunities for using public food procurement as a lever in the pursuit of more sustainable food systems and healthy meals for children.
  • Provide city officers with tangible skills and useful tools to simultaneously achieve multiple objectives.
  • Develop synergies among MUFPP cities in the region, national governments and international organizations active on the topic of school meals.
  • Advocate for cities at the National and EU level to play a crucial role in reshaping local food systems toward sustainable models through innovating public procurement processes and strengthening local supply chains.

This conference is targeted towards food policy officers and stakeholders responsible for shaping the future meals of our schoolchildren.
