There are many ways to organise the provision of public meals. Here you can find information about the most common ways to help organise public catering and its procurement.
Welcome to the Sustainable Public Meal Toolkit!
The Sustainable Public Meal Toolkit provides experience-based advice on how to set up innovative strategies and activities for sustainable public procurement and catering services. The toolkit was developed in the Baltic Sea Region countries but can be used in many more places due to the generic descriptions in the tools. Start the change in your municipality, your company, your school, your hospital, or elsewhere!
The Sustainable Public Meal Toolkit is a result of the Interreg-BSR project StratKIT (#R088, 2019-2021) and part of the StratKIT Platform. You can find more information here www.stratkit.eu. StratKIT expands with new partners and additional approaches under a new project called StratKIT+. You can find more information here interreg-baltic.eu/project/stratkitplus/
