Food shopping: how to choose the right products

University canteens offer you the chance to eat well-balanced meals, but it's just as important to eat well at home! Here you'll find tips and advice on how to shop for food and eat well without breaking the bank.

The markets

Markets are a great way to find fresh, seasonal produce at reasonable prices. Numerous markets are held every weekend, as well as during the week, in Grenoble and Valence. Some are dedicated exclusively to the sale of organic produce.

The Amap

Associations pour le maintien d'une agriculture paysanne (Amap) are designed to promote peasant and organic farming, by creating a direct link between farmers and consumers. Consumers agree to purchase a portion of the farmer's production at a fair, pre-determined price, which is delivered each week in the form of a basket.

Organic and local fruit and vegetable baskets

You can also take advantage of basket deliveries set up by student associations on our campuses.

There are certainly others! Ask your school, faculty or institute for details!
