Problem Solver - Consumption of out-of-season vegetables

Obligation for supermarkets to clearly display a list of local and seasonal food products. Customers would be fully aware of their purchases, and could  avoid falling into the marketing traps of brands. By knowing, in a reliable way, that it is not normal to eat strawberries in winter, we would reduce the importation of foreign foodstuffs.

Obligation pour les supermarchés d’afficher très lisiblement une liste des produits alimentaires locaux et de saison. Les client•e•s seraient pleinement conscient•e•s de leurs achats, et pourraient même éviter de tomber dans les pièges du marketing des enseignes. En sachant, de manière fiable, que ce n’est pas normal de manger des fraises en hiver, on diminuerait ainsi l’importation de denrées alimentaires étrangères.
