Sustainable Public Food Procurement (SPFP) in the EU – SAPIENS Scientific Webinar III

By Chiara Falvo

Mar 25, 2024 | E-learning, ESR WEBINARS, News

Join us for an engaging discussion on sustainable public food procurement on April 23rd, at 12:15 CET! 

 

Governments worldwide procure food and catering services for public institutions such as schools, universities and hospitals. Because of its economic relevance and its connection to many policy areas, public food procurement is increasingly seen as a leverage for building more fair and sustainable food systems and promoting healthy diets. 

Organised by early-stage researcher Chiara Falvo, this webinar is part of the SAPIENS Network’s Scientific Webinar Series and is hosted within the Master’s Course in Food Systems Law at the University of Turin, also in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Food Sciences (DISAFA). We are honored to have Professor Silvia Mirate as a distinguished speaker and discussant for this event. 

Our webinar will explore the possibilities and challenges of embedding sustainability considerations in public food procurement practices under EU Law, also showcasing some national and local experiences that are leading the way. We will also discuss the new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and its relevance for public procurement.
