On 23 April 2024, SAPIENS Network Early Stage Researcher Chiara Falvo held a scientific webinar focusing on Sustainable Public Food Procurement (SPFP) in the European Union. The event took place in hybrid form and was hosted within the Master’s Course in Food Systems Law at the Department of Law of the University of Turin, also in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Food Sciences (DISAFA).

After a brief introduction on public procurement law and practice, Chiara delved into the legal strategies and mechanisms for integrating social and environmental considerations into the procurement of food and catering services. She also highlighted some national and local experiences that are leading the way in the field. During the event, Professor Silvia Mirate, who also acted as a discussant, provided an overview on the new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), followed by Chiara's exploration of its relevance for public procurement.

Contributing to bridging the gap between the scientific domains of law and agricultural and forestry sciences, this webinar may be relevant for students and newcomers to public procurement, especially in the food sector, as well as for anyone interested in understanding deforestation issues and the latest legal mechanisms to combat them.
