The document highlights the role of public procurement in fostering sustainable local and regional food systems through Green Public Procurement (GPP) and Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP).

It concludes with synthetic guidelines for Local and Regional Authorities (LRAs) navigating sustainable food procurement in public contracts.
