The canteen service in Fuerteventura schools has evolved, moving from a simple logistical provision to an essential component of school life. In an increasingly competitive sector, Albi Canarias, a company of Canarian origin, has successfully consolidated its collective catering model on the island, standing out for its territorial roots and contribution to local development.

Albi Canarias' presence in Fuerteventura is significant, covering most educational centers and nurseries. Their strategy is based on constant adaptation to the specific characteristics of each center and the island context, avoiding a uniform model and promoting close and efficient management.

This proximity not only streamlines decision-making and responsiveness to daily needs but also generates employment in areas such as cooking, monitoring, and coordination, strengthening the island's economic fabric. Furthermore, the company prioritizes the use of Canarian products, with between 90% and 95% of food sourced from Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, or Gran Canaria, thereby supporting the local primary sector and ensuring the freshness and traceability of products.

The Albi Canarias model is also distinguished by its professionalization and adaptability. The company has specialized teams for continuous staff training and nutritionists who design balanced and culturally adapted menus. The canteen is conceived as an educational space where habits of coexistence, autonomy, and nutritional education are fostered, in coordination with teaching staff and paying special attention to students with Specific Educational Support Needs (NEAE).

Transparency is another fundamental pillar, allowing families access to detailed information about menus and ingredients, which strengthens trust and the bond with the educational community. This comprehensive approach demonstrates that it is possible to develop a solid and distinctive collective catering model that goes beyond food management to become a driver of social and economic development in Fuerteventura.
