five local personalities in the spotlight

Chloé Avice’s exhibition at the Houlme cultural space in Briouze (Orne) presents a series of portraits of five actors and actresses in organic and local food, who contributed to the project What are we eating tomorrow in the bocage? (QQMDB) carried by the Territorial Coop.

Five players in organic and local food

• Marjorie Choupin is vegetable gardener within the AIFR Flers bocage integration association. It calls for work of exchange and understanding with the cooks so that they adapt according to production.
• Aurore Rousseaux is a peasant baker established in organic farming in Lougé-sur-Maire. She takes pleasure in passing on her technique and does not hesitate to provide her sourdough so that everyone can make it at home and eat local organic sourdough bread.

• Biocoop the green source in Flers. L’store assistantMarie-Claude Ardouin, underlines the importance of coordination of stakeholders so that the price of transport remains competitive.
• Ludovic Ernoux is chef for 20 years at the municipal restaurant of La Ferté-Macé. It provides 400 daily meals from the nursery to the nursing home. He sees the exchange with organic producers as a real challenge, seeking to work more with legumes and to build menus upstream. A fair dialogue that enriches everyone.
• Véronique Corruble is stove at the Sainte-Honorine-la-Guillaume primary school. Passionate about family and local cuisine, she works to avoid waste in the portions served to children and passes on her recipes to families following requests from children.

Everyone remembers the values defended by the Coop des Territoires and its partners, Bio en Normandie and Nourrir l’Avenir through the QQMDB project.

Transmit values

This is to reduce the distance between the place of production and the place of consumption and to build a logistics and invoicing solution adapted to pool deliveries.

The project, initiated at the request of parents of students wishing to offer food healthier for children, was created thanks to a few farmers wanting to get involved.

Today, QQMDB, these are 50 organic farmers and local producers including 25 “Organic at source” producers grouped together to facilitate the supply and delivery of products.

These are 40 collective restaurants and 30 agents who were trained in the integration of organic and local, seasonal and homemade products. Ten large and medium-sized stores sell them.
