Stimulation of organic catering : 'government setting the example'

Summary

The Stimulation of Organic Catering project was prompted by the policy document Biologische Landbouw 2005-2007 (Organic Agriculture 2005-2007). The government is keen to promote organic agriculture and is aware of the need to create an extensive market for organic produce. With approximately 1.5 million users per day, corporate catering is a prime candidate. The introduction of organic products in company restaurants raises awareness of the variety and quality of organic produce, and improves the image of organic produce across the board
