Food

For several years now, the University of Liège has been pursuing a food policy that combines sustainability and quality, by incorporating numerous criteria in this direction into the contracts governing its canteens. 

The aim is to accelerate the transition of the canteens by offering local, fresh and seasonal products, as free as possible from chemical inputs, and always with at least one vegetarian alternative. The aim is to create more balanced, healthier and environmentally-friendly dishes. The quality and sustainability of our food offering should enable us to obtain "sustainable canteen" certification as early as 2025.

The sustainability of the range should be extended to catering services for events. Food waste will be further reduced, with adjustments to quantities and processes downstream of events.

For this policy to be a success, an important aspect is the effective sensitization of users to sustainable food choices and the fight against waste.
