Didier Rosier

Mayor of Rousseloy, committed to organic food for all

Conceived in 2011, opened 8 years later, in 2019, Bio For All illustrates very well the Mr Rosier's willMayor of Rousseloy, vice-president of the communauté de communes and organic producer, to make his commune the green lung of the Creil Sud Oise conurbation*.

Rousseloy, a 100% organic commune

Rousseloy is a pretty village nestled in a green bowertypical of the south of the Oise with its beautiful stone houses and its underground quarries barely concealed behind the abundant vegetation. On every plot in this village, "rousseloy' (runoff) a spring. And these sources, like the health of its 300 constituentsMr Rosier, mayor of the commune (6^th mandate), takes the greatest care of it.

It is with an iron will thathe succeeded in building a 100% organic island All the producers who work in Rousseloy are certified organicand thus surrounding the village of Pesticide-free fields, for almost a kilometre! The results are there, the figures speak for themselves: in 30 years, the nitrate level in spring water has drastically decreased, thanks to the cessation of pesticide use.

Bio For All

And Mr Rosier did not stop there! In the 2010s, a ambitious project whose main leitmotif is consumer health : making organic food accessible to allat prices that defy all competition. The challenge is launched, and it is 8 years later, in 2019, that Bio Pour Tous is born, a company bringing together a thirty or so producers and organic farmersmainly from the local area. Among them are, for example, young producers who only work withancient breeds of hay-fed dairy cows (no corn here!), distributing milk, cheese and tasty yoghurt every Thursday. For bread, it is a Senlis bakeryA few kilometres away, which supplies more than a hundred loaves of bread with the flavours of yesteryear (and organic, of course) every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Thanks to the ingenious self-contained of lockers which is one of the the largest food distributors with its few 740 regularly replenished storage units (sometimes up to 6 times a day as demand is so high!), customers also benefit from organic and seasonal fruit and vegetables potatoes, onions, shallots, carrots, strawberries or peaches... all at an excellent quality-price ratio, sometimes cheaper than conventional, and in any case cheaper than the organic food you find in the supermarket!

In the sheds above the crates, up to forty employees work, handling a few 4 thousand tonnes of fruit and vegetables which are stored there and then sent to other distributors. Thanks to this immediately accessible storage place, Bio Pour Tous guarantees optimal freshness of its products which never stay in their locker for more than 2 days.
