In July 2020, the Department of the Environment, Planning and Housing, the Regional Health Agency, the Ecological Transition Agency (Ademe) and the Crédit Agricole Foundation launched a call for projects in Réunion on the challenges of sustainable food and the circular economy. The operation had several objectives : promote eating habits with low environmental impact, limit exposure to endocrine disruptors in food, fight against food waste, promote local organic production, replace the use of single-use plastics in food. 45 dossiers ont été déposés, by companies, communities or associations, 11 lauréats ont été désignés en fin d’année : ils bénéficieront d’un accompagnement pour un montant total de 92 000 euros.
