Deployment of Systemic Territorial Food Projects

deploy level 2 territorial food projects (PAT) (operational projects) throughout the national territory. The PATs aim to bring together the various actors of a territory around the issue of food, thus contributing to the consideration of the social, environmental, economic and health dimensions of this territory. Most often carried out by local authorities, they are based on a shared diagnosis of agriculture and food in the territory and the definition of operational actions aimed at carrying out the project, as part of a bottom-up approach. The recognition criteria were strengthened in 2024 to:

- Systemic action plans, integrating economic, social, environmental and health issues;

- Articulation and good coordination with other plans, schemes or charters at the same territorial level (in particular the Local Health Contract or the PNNS Commitment Charters);

- Strengthening the monitoring and evaluation of PAPs.
