Consultation on the Aix-Marseille-Provence Territorial Food Project: leveraging the agri-food wealth of the region at the local level by involving all stakeholders
Context
On October 17, 2016, the metropolitan council unanimously approved the principle of developing a Territorial Food Project (PAT) for the Bouches-du-Rhône region. This project is jointly led by the Arles Regional Authority and supported by the Bouches-du-Rhône Department. The PAT aims to make a major contribution to the organization and future of a region with 2 million inhabitants and 150,000 hectares of usable agricultural land, promoting the production and consumption of healthy, sustainable, and locally sourced food. This is a collaborative approach developed with public and private stakeholders in the region.
Missions

Innovative dimensions of the approach
In addition to the methods and techniques for facilitating stakeholder management and consultation processes, this mission provided an opportunity to conduct a geolocated inventory of local initiatives using the participatory map of the Jenparle digital consultation platform.
