Description
As part of EU Green Week 2025, the National SF4C Awards France will honour the most inspiring and transformative initiatives led by local authorities and associations committed to reshaping school food systems. These awards recognise those who are paving the way for a future where school meals are not only healthy and inclusive but also environmentally and socially sustainable.
Rooted in the principles of the School Food for Change (SF4C) project, this event highlights the efforts of cities, regions, and civil society organisations that are demonstrating how public food policies can be powerful drivers of change. By celebrating their achievements, the awards aim to inspire others, encourage knowledge exchange, and accelerate the shift toward school food systems that nourish both children and the planet.
The heart of the event will be the six finalists, each presenting their groundbreaking projects that exemplify bold leadership, innovation, and impact. Their stories will showcase practical solutions to the challenges of implementing sustainable school food policies, from procurement strategies to educational programmes that engage students, teachers, and communities.
The ceremony will open with a brief introduction to the School Food for Change (SF4C) project and the objectives of the awards, setting the stage for an inspiring series of presentations. After hearing from the finalists, the winners will be announced, recognising the most impactful initiatives that are setting new standards for sustainable school food.
By bringing these inspiring projects into the spotlight, the National SF4C Awards France reinforce the vital role of local governments and civil society in shaping the future of school meals. This event is more than a celebration. It is a call to action, empowering more cities, regions, and organisations to take bold steps in transforming food systems for the next generations.
