As part of its sustainable procurement strategy, Copenhagen has launched the innovative “potato-kit Project,” linking the provision of food with education to open tenders to SMEs and small-scale farmers while strengthening food literacy among schoolchildren.

This initiative aims to enhance market competition, ensure value for money, promote seasonality and biodiversity, prevent food waste, shorten supply chains, and enhance food literacy - key foundations for a resilient food system.

This important project was developed and implemented through Copenhagen’s participation in the EU-funded project COACH and Food Trails.
