Regional Campaign. Local Plates, Stronger Communities

• To engage peri-urban farmers, municipal planners, local markets, food cooperatives, and consumer groups to recognise the role of proximity-based alternative food networks (AFNs) in regional food resilience.

• Share spatial maps and short case briefs showing where AFN-friendly parcels cluster in southeastern France.

• Invite municipalities, market managers, and cooperatives to adopt a voluntary “Proximity Food Commitment” to promote AFN visibility and small pilots.

• Practical steps: publish a public map of AFN-friendly parcels; add an “AFN” label at three local markets; run one farm-to-school pilot per municipality.
