The way we eat affects both our health and climate change. On th scale of a collective food these consequences become a major issue for the municipalities. That is why the cities from Ile de France have implemented a territorial food project (TFP) targeting school restaurants to reduice food waste. The implemented strategy to achieve is built around three main lines of action : an adaptation of the quantity of each menu to children’s hunger, a better food waste management thanks to the practice of selective sorting by children and the recovery or organic waste and finally a awareness and educational work with children and catering staff. Such a project which involves young and old has already reduced the amount of food thrown away per meal tray by more than 28%. By an intergenerational mobilization supervised by municipalities, it is thus possible to promote a sustainable food.

Mulhouse city, convinced that ecological transition requires the mobilisation of the greatest number, gives voice to its inhabitants with the creation of the platform « Mulhouse c’est vous ». This website from the Agency of citizen participation allows to Mulhousians to vote, comment and object to projects proposed by the city. The inhabitants can propose some solidary actions thanks to a suggestion box. By being put to the vote, these solidary initiatives could be examined by the municipal council only if they get support of 250 members. A 300 000 euros participative budget is allocated by the city to finance projects which are imagined and voted by Mulhousians. Finally, a place called « le Carré des associations » with tailor-made services is made available to citizens to support them in the promotion and development of associative activities. By implemented its inhabitants, Mulhouse transforms each of them into actors of ecological and solidary transition.
