AB [EN] This work evaluates and discusses the greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions reduction potential of agroecological policies implementedin public food procurement for school canteens. Usinga life cycle analysis (LCA) methodology (cradle-to-graveapproach) and the information gathered from the RedMunicipal de Comedores Escolares (Local Network of SchoolCanteens) in the municipality of Ames (A Coruña, Galicia,Spain), the results show how organic production, dietary change(less animal protein), seasonal consumption, and packagingreduction, among other measures, can mitigate the climateimpact of school meals. The food policies implemented inAmes have allowed mitigating the GHG emissions of localschool canteens by 13.4%. Under realistic conditions, this reductioncould rise to 40.6% should the agroecological transformationof the food system continue to advance.
