‘Receiving cities’ understand>adapt>reuse the good practice

RECEIVING CITIES
Producing a ‘Diary of Transfer experience’ > experimentation
Building the capacity to deal with urban issues
REFER to Diet for green planet - Mollet del Valles example of transfer:
Understand: Mollet del Valles ( people) before joining the network had no diet policy at local level but an ambition to promote the surrounding rural area and stimulate local economy. Albert Garcia says that for them Sodertalje was like a "UFO" something that was completely new and unusual from Spanish standards but at the same time an unexpected way to fulfil their goals. When joined the network, the city undertook a survey to the users of school canteens, gathered perceptions, facts and data. Thanks to this survey, the City realised that school canteens were using pre-cooked and frozen food and meals, the food was coming from thousands of Km away, and the cooks were heating food rather than cooking it. 
Adapt & Reuse: Mollet decided to change this, and adapt the model to Sodertalje  to their legal framework. Unlikely Sodertalje, they used public procurement in Sept 2014 as a tool to integrate healthy habits and principles in the public canteens. The city also adopted a Diet Policy at local level and established the Food Council to give advise to public canteens. By September 2016, Mollet has transformed their 7 public canteens following Sodertalje model and has established a monitoring system to follow up progress and changes.
