    Rencontre avec Kathleen Vanhandenhoven et Jean-François Pêcheur, les partenaires belges du réseau BIOCANTEENS !

    Jean-François Pêcheur (JFP) est coordinateur du GAL Pays des Condruses, asbl active dans le développement territorial de sept communes de la Province de Liège. Kathleen Vanhandenhoven (KV) y est responsable de projets en économie. Depuis 2018, le GAL est partenaire du réseau de transfert URBACT « BioCanteens ». Ce réseau, mené par la ville française de Mouans-Sartoux, vise à assurer la distribution de repas scolaires durables dans les villes participantes, en tant que levier essentiel pour le développement d'une approche agroalimentaire locale intégrée, protégeant à la fois la santé des citoyens et l'environnement. Le projet vise à transférer la bonne pratique de Mouans-Sartoux dans le domaine de la restauration scolaire collective à d'autres villes engagées à travers l'Europe.
