Description: The project involves an innovative process of food distribution: from laboratory to schools. The distribution service is entrusted to zero-emission cargo bikes.  Food distribution in the schools is plastic free and it proposes a reduced environmental impact compared to vending machines in terms of production processes, packaging and energy consumption.

Inclusive School Breaks aligns with the objectives of ATT S.r.l., a social enterprise whose aim is to promote employment for young people with autism or cognitive disabilities in the area of school catering, such as the distribution of snacks during school breaks in the high schools of the City of Turin, giving students a healthy, inclusive and sustainable food model.

Context: Inclusive School Breaks is one of the winning proposals of the City of Turin Public Notice on the topic of Circular Food. The aim is to find organisations with which to co-develop and test, under real conditions, innovative solutions in the context of the circular economy linked to production, distribution and marketing of food.

This activity is planned in two European projects: FUSILLI, which aims to promote innovative circular business models in the food sector, and SME4GREEN, which supports companies in transitioning to technologically and environmentally-sustainable business models. The current challenge of the circular economy applied to food is to revolutionize the production model starting with proper management of natural capital (that is linked to human, cultural and economic capital), respecting planetary boundaries and offering equitable space within civil society.
