Red carpet for Marie-Pierre Haury last week, and especially for the project she champions, an artisanal, organic, participatory and zero-waste cannery that will open in Bou, in the metropolitan area of Orléans. Selected through the “101 Women Entrepreneurs” competition, the young woman was received in Matignon on March 8 by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and Ministers Aurora Berger and Olivia Grégoire during a ceremony organized to award the winners.
At 34, the research teacher with a PhD in economics gave up her first job to pursue a cannery project based on using surplus and unsold goods purchased from organic producers. “I had both feet involved in farming and had a passion for cooking. I wanted to combine these two opportunities while allowing farmers to earn additional income,” explains a young woman living in Ferol.
80,000 cans per year
To convince, she founded an association bringing together producers, “eaters” and communities, and tested her concept on nine recipes, tomato sauce, spreads, soups, etc. In a few months, 3,000 cans she produced under the brand “Bocaux des champs” “, sold very well.
His project, which would lead to the creation of a Community Interest Cooperative (SCIC), has attracted the small rural town of Bow, population 1,000, which is also involved in fighting food waste and promoting organic food.
The municipality decided to build a building that would be rented out to the cannery. “This is the result of three years of work and we hope that it will serve as an incentive for young people to reclaim the land of farmers who are about to retire,” says environmental mayor Bruno Coeur.
The cost of the real estate project is 70,000 euros. It is 80% financed by government subsidies, the rest is covered by the municipality, and is scheduled to open in the fall. Canned food – 80 thousand cans per year – will then be sold in specialized grocery stores, directly from manufacturers or in collective catering, and the task is to create three jobs.
