Réseau Manger Bio

What Réseau Manger Bio does

Réseau Manger Bio is a French cooperative network founded in 2010 that federates 22 territorial distribution platforms connecting local organic producers with catering professionals, including restaurants, school canteens, and other collective-catering operations. Each platform acts as a single point of contact for sourcing, ordering, delivery, invoicing, and product traceability, distributing a 100% organic, local, and seasonal range spanning dairy, eggs, meats, fresh and dried produce, bread, grocery, beverages, and frozen items.

The organization is structured under the French Social and Solidarity Economy (Économie Sociale et Solidaire), with producers and transformers at the heart of strategic decisions within each member platform. Its operational technology is a federated physical-distribution network rather than a unified digital platform: each territorial cooperative handles logistics and client services locally, supported by shared branding, supplier relationships, and standards. Supplementary service modules include sustainable packaging solutions (reusable containers, bottle returns, low-carbon transport), platform-creation engineering for new territories, and Collective Catering Advisory targeted at municipalities.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; the network combines product distribution (transaction-fee style flows through member platforms) with member contributions, public-sector contracts, and grant funding consistent with its non-profit cooperative status. The go-to-market is sales-led through the 22 territorial platforms, supplemented by public-policy engagement — most recently a co-authored tribune in Ouest-France and an advisory push ahead of the 2026 French municipal elections — and ecosystem partnerships with FNAB, Un plus Bio, L'Agence Bio, Ecocert En Cuisine, and SCIC Nourrir l'Avenir.
