To promote responsible public purchasing of local, green produce to strengthen the viability of the Catalan agri-food cooperative and business sector

A proposal has been made to encourage responsible public purchasing of local, green produce by the various Catalan administrations, fostering local, sustainable produce and strengthening the viability of the Catalan agri-food cooperative and business sector. This dynamic can be extrapolated to private organisations operating in public services, such as school or hospital canteens by setting it out as an essential requisite in the administrative and technical stipulations applicable for eligibility to bid in the relevant tender processes.
