The Region implements its "Eat Local" policy in public high schools by supporting them in relocated and responsible practices, offering menus based on quality and local products, and raising young people's awareness of the link between food and health. The Region had set itself the objective of aiming for 100% French products, 50% regional, and 20% organic and other quality labels.

Since the EGALIM law, the Region has adapted its criteria by maintaining localization (100% France and 50% Region) and quality (50% including 20% organic).
