The StratKIT Sustainability Toolkit is developed to support the change process and provides a comprehensive set of tools that can be used to motivate, guide and facilitate actions that enhances the sustainability of public meals. The tools can be used by kitchen professionals, civil servants dealing with public procurement, supply chain actors, providers of catering services, policy makers, and others. The tools are organised in eight Gateways, each representing a sustainability dimension such as organic food, healthy and plant-based meals, preventing food waste, or resource efficiency. The toolkit also includes tools that facilitate strategy making or support public procurement officers to include sustainability criteria in their calls for tenders. In addition, the toolkit provides support for communication actions and for strengthening supply chain collaboration with particular emphasis on connecting with farmers. The complete toolkit is available in six languages on www.sustainable-public-meals.eu.97engunspecifiedinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEnvironmental sciencesCommissioned reportopenAccess5d3ff20b-625c-41a9-9f83-d2aa2279299d
