  12. Learning from Copenhagen • Target of 90% organic food in public sector: part of policy for Copenhagen to become ‘Eco Metropolis’ of the world by 2015 • 75% public sector food is currently organic including schools, nurseries & care homes • Approx. 60,000 meals/day from 900 kitchens • http://bit.ly/Eco-MetropolisCopenhagen

  13. How they do it • Political support • City of Copenhagen taking responsibility & setting targets for improving public sector food • Copenhagen House of Food training for public sector kitchen staff • Conversion Vs substitution: investment in changing culture in kitchens and at the table Vs business as usual which results in on-going costs • Less meat; using the whole carcass; much more veg & grains • Reducing food waste pays for organic food

  14. Benefits so far • New national target of 60% organic by 2020 • New market opportunities for suppliers: organic foodservice sales expected to increase by 20% in 2012 • Increased job satisfaction • All new-build schools now have kitchen & dining facilities • Increased school meal uptake • Improved health and wellbeing for recipients e.g. reduced use of medication in nursing homes • Cleaner drinking water in Copenhagen • All done within budgets!
