The food offer in large-scale retail is a decisive lever for shaping eating practices: around 78% of food purchases in France take place in supermarkets. To encourage more sustainable and healthier diets, action must be taken at this stage of the chain by influencing what supermarkets offer and how products are listed, displayed, and promoted. Since 2023, ALTAA has selected several project leaders (local authorities, associations) who are working locally to test different levers to transform the supermarkets' offer: increasing the availability of organic products, promoting the sale of local or sustainable goods, or adapting the product range to local challenges. We are looking for partners (local authorities, researchers, NGOs, networks, retail stakeholders) willing to co-develop and test the levers we have identified, in order to provide territorial actors with practical tools to engage with supermarkets and make sustainable food more accessible

ALTAA stands for Alliance for Agricultural and Food Transitions. It is a multi-stakeholder network (associations, local authorities, social and solidarity economy organizations, researchers, companies, citizen groups, etc.) that comes together to work collectively on agricultural and food transitions. ALTAA aims in particular to:
1) Create a space for cooperation and exchange among diverse stakeholders to pool skills and expertise and carry out collective actions
2) Act as a driving force for proposals: influencing public policies (local, national, European), challenging existing narratives, and promoting more sustainable food systems
3) Contribute to agricultural, food, social, and environmental transitions: reshaping food systems and improving access to healthy, sustainable, and affordable food for all.
