CORE Organic 1881 iPOPY, Innovative Public Organic food Procurement for Youth

Tildelt: kr 4,6 mill.

Innovatiove Public Organic food Procurement for Youth(iPOPY) will contribute to an increased interaction between the organic food sector and public procurement of food, especially for young people. Increased consumption of organic food may positively effe ct people's health status, and most EU countries encourage an increase in both the organic production and consumption. iPOPY shall identify and verify experiences of public organic food procurement (POP) for young people in all participating countries. Policy implementations to increase organic consumption in public food serving outlets for youth will be analysed, and best management practices will be revealed in relevant supply chains. Constraints for POP such as premium prices and supply chain bottle necks will be assessed. The preferences, perceptions, practices and learning of young people introduced to organic food through POP will be studied, and also how POP may act as a driver for healthy eating among young people. These aims will be achieved by a close cooperation during 2007-10 between research institutes in NO, DK, FI, IT and DE (DE paid by NO). iPOPY is a result of the first call of the ERA net CORE organic (more at www.coreorganic.org). iPOPY has five workpackages, (WP) and is coordinated by Bioforsk. SIFO leads WP4 (perceptions), and Bioforsk WP1. WP 2 and 5 are lead by DK, and WP3 by IT. The Norwegian contribution to iPOPY will be reported as a separate project to RCN. It consists of an active participation in the WPs led by other cou ntries; by leading two WPs; and by coordinating the whole project which will include about 12 researchers from nine institutes. A national user group composed of engaged lead users willl be established (in all countries). A close contact to other stakehol ders will be ensured by national and transnational workshops, and a web based newsletter, launched 5-6 times per year. This newsletter will have parallel editions in English and the relevant national laguages.
