GOVERNANCE: Not defined

We are 3 associations with food local supply chain. Two associations are delivering local organics food each week to members (“AMAP“). They delivered that in an old and charming military fort, very quiet, but not visible from the city center. The other association delivers each month other products (meat, cakes, cheese, cider,…) coming from an organics food farmers group of Normandie. This delivery was done in a large room under the city stadium.

We asked the Municipality to propose a common place, more visible, where we could delivery to our members the food proposed.

After 1 year the municipality found a solution and proposed a Market hall not used for now. For this purpose it has been closed and an about 100 square meters building has been created inside.

One of the 3 association is the local Transition Initiative with its “AMAP” and we use also this market hall for meetings like the “Fête des possibles”.

DOMAINS: Food and agriculture, Raising awareness about sustainability, climate change, healthy living, environmental issues, etc.
