In 2006, in Italy, Coldiretti (Farmers organization of the Veneto area) tables a bill  which aim is to introduce quotas ol local products into the menus of the canteens and the restaurants of the area. While waiting the vote of this law, some restorers asked Coldiretti to create a label "0 Km Menu". Objective: incitethe restorers to provide themselves near local producers, in order to dynamise the local economy, reduce the logistics and transportation costs and so reduce the energy expenses which are generated. 20 properties obtained the label between February 2007 and March 2008.
