Veg on the menu at every children's canteen
The project
FoodYouth
Assiettes Végétales is changing the law to put vegan options on the menu, and is training, informing and supporting youth catering professionals to give them the keys to a balanced, attractive and tasty daily vegetarian offering.

Solution
If 50% of the daily food supply in youth canteens were vegetarian, France would save 510K tonnes of CO2 equivalent every year. And would save, in the process, between 15 and 32 million animals currently suffering from intensive fishing and farming. All the while allowing every child to eat well every day at the canteen, whatever their diet and faith.

Why we love it?
After enabling students at the Crous de Strasbourg to choose the vegan option every day, Assiettes Végétales is now tackling school catering to democratize a more plant-based diet. The aim is to help students, from primary to secondary school, to adopt good eating habits for the rest of their lives: healthy, affordable and sustainable food that helps preserve the planet... What a win-win-win project!
Many people tell me they wish they'd grown up with a positive diet. For the new generation, it's not too late!
