Perugia is the result of a unique participatory model in Italy, where mothers and fathers are key to the management process and even local organic producers find space. In Perugia more than 4,500 meals are served every day (primary, secondary, kindergarten...) and it is the family committees, together with the company itself and the administration, that monitor and evaluate the management company. This transformation towards the local and ecological has been driven by social agents and families, who have acted as a motor for change to move from industrialized collective catering to sustainable and healthy quality catering. The change has come from the bottom up and has forced institutions to make commitments.
