| Our working group aims to discuss successful approaches of managing increasing quantities of organic food produce - successful in terms of maintaining product quality, trust, integrity and higher value while at the same time increasing turnover. The workshop will focus on two particular aspects. Firstly, the business strategies of growing organic businesses and initiatives, and secondly, the specific instruments used in organisation and management that help to meet the diverging objectives related to growth in turnover on the one hand, and organic values, quality, integrity and trust on the other. In the workshop we will look at these challenges and management options from the perspective of practitioners in the agri-food industry. |

| In Finland, the Kiuruvesi municipality is the pioneer in use of local and organic food (LOF) in the statutory municipal catering services. The LOF strategy is based on territorial approach, and it was adopted as one means of enhancing the attractiveness of the remotely located municipality with unfavorable population development. The local policymakers have been fully committed to the strategy, and this has enabled the consistent development during nearly two decades. The Kiuruvesi case demonstrates the gradual shift of focus in the competitive bidding process from price-based tendering towards anticipatory dialogue and interaction between the suppliers and catering personnel. Over the years the LOF concept has brought about various kinds of food... |

| This article probes a number of recent national policy documents in order to capture how sustainability is perceived and expressed in the context of food and what role is given to the alternative food supplies. The goals of food policy and their realization are discussed by reflecting the results from the policy document analysis against the actual use of alternative food in the statutory municipal catering services in Finland. In the policy documents the concept of sustainable development has remained rather abstract; various dimensions such as food security, affordability and access to food, cultural and health aspects are mentioned, but these are not necessarily identified as elements of sustainability. Local and organic foods appear as important items... |

| Järvifisu (in English: Lake Fish) is a general partnership enterprise with two owners. The core business is fishery and raw material production. The enterprise was founded in 2010 as a response to the realized deficiency of good quality fresh lake fish in a region, where there are abundant lakes with clean waters and with no aquaculture. The customers are municipalities, local retail stores and restaurants in the region. The values that differentiate the Järvifisu fish from that of other suppliers in the market are the quality, especially the freshness and the local origin of the products. The competitiveness of the business is based on the high demand for fresh lake fish and on the high quality of the Järvifisu products. There is no organic certification... |

| The potential for and environmental consequences of localising primary production of food were investigated by considering different food consumption patterns, based on conventional and organic production. Environmental impact was assessed according to agricultural land use and numbers of production animals, both of which depend on food consumption. The results were quantified in terms of nutrient balances, greenhouse gas and acid emissions and the diversity of crop cultivation, which indicate eutrophication of watersheds, climate change and landscape changes, respectively. The study region was able to satisfy its own needs for all farming and food consumption scenarios. Dietary choice had a marked impact on agricultural land use and on the... |

| As a policy impact research, a number of relevant national policy documents were examined in order to clarify justification and proposed measures in support of organic food and their linkage to the sustainability strivings. The implementation of the goals is discussed by considering the published data on the use of organic food within the public catering sector. Despite the clearly articulated policy aim to increase the use of organic food within the public catering sector as the path breaker, expanding the use of organic food in professional kitchens has proved to be a very slow process. Several reasons are identified in the policy documents. In a sparsely populated country like Finland, the availability and delivery problems are accentuated in... |

| This study explores the impacts on agricultural and total GHG emissions of Finnish consumption if the share of animal based food products was reduced and if the share of ecologically produced food was to increase in Finland. GHG emissions associated with production of basic food items were quantified (per capita per annum) for current food consumption, for national standard diet recommendations, for a diet with no milk and beef and for a vegan diet including an oat-based milk susbstitute. The major source of GHG in primary food production is the cultivated soil. For the present average food consumption the emissions from the soil comprise 62 %, the share of emissions due to enteric fermentation is 24 %, whereas energy consumption and fertilizer... |

| As part of a wider concern with sustainability issues, throughout Europe there is increasing interest in alternative food supply chains. Local and organic food (LOF) is gradually gaining ground also among institutional customers. Public food purchases are constrained by the legal framework of the EU law on public procurement. The law encourages the use of most economically advantageous tender (MEAT), which enables the contracting authority to take into account criteria other than only the lowest price. One of the restrictions in increasing the use of LOF items in institutional kitchens is the tedious procurement process. Using a case study approach, this paper explores the tendering process and its development from price-based competitive bidding towards... |

| An on-going study examines how Green House Gas (GHG) emission information could be used to support consumption driven changes in production, leading to reduction of GHG emissions in agriculture. This paper presents a pre-study, looking for discursive grounds by which institutional consumers make choices when confronted with the knowledge of GHG emission characteristics of five optional milk systems. The milk systems to be compared in terms of agricultural GHG emissions were (Option I) conventional milk system based on imported soy protein feed, (Option II) conventional milk system using domestic protein source and (Option III) organic milk system, as well as vegetable milk systems based on (Option IV) imported soy and (Option V) domestic oat. The... |

| 'School Goes to the Farm' activities are aimed at promoting socio-cultural sustainability and education for sustainable development (EfSD) by improving knowledge among children and youth about the relationship between nature and culture and about the role of rural areas in the society. This is done by developing local co-operation between schools, farms and the regional nature centres. The experiences show that the local school-farm co-operation is an interesting possibility both for the schools and for the farms. Rural-based EfSD excellently meets the needs of contextual, comprehensive and experiental learing. Farms can be exploited as learning environment in several of the school subjects, and the activity is especially well suited for concretising the... |

| Sustainability of food systems inherently implies food security, but in search for cost savings, the decision‐makers tend to belittle the significance of food security, to overlook the various aspects of sustainability in statutory catering and to ignore the environmental, societal and cultural aspects of food. An extensive survey on the present status of statutory public catering shows, that although the severe natural circumstances present great challenges for food production in Finland, municipal public catering is still today largely based on domestically produced food. Thus, even in extreme circumstances national food security is possible. However, because food security is not seen as constituting an essential part of sustainable development... |
