  12. A Better Tomorrowis part of Sodexo’s DNA Today To accomplish our 14 commitments, we will focus our efforts on three overarching pillars:

  13. 4 definitions

  14. Local • Definition: No agreed upon standard distance that constitutes ‘local’ • Benefits: Gives consumers access to fresh, flavorful foods harvested at peak ripeness and supports the area’s agriculture economy and local farm businesses CSA (Community Supported Agriculture): partnership between a farmer and a group of consumers in which consumers buy “shares” in the harvest and receive weekly deliveries of seasonal products Food miles: the distance food travels from where it is grown to the consumer’s plate and translates into but does not measure the CO2 emissions from production (agricultural or processing) or transportation Source: “The Changing Vocabulary of Food Purchasing,” Sustainable Food Laboratory.

  15. Seasonal • When a food is freshest, ripest and most abundant • Seasonal menu planning aims to create recipes aligning with a geographic region’s harvest calendar • A growing season is generally measured by the number of days between the spring’s last frost and the winter’s first frost • Geographic location, climate, daylight hours, average temperatures, rainfall, and water resources also contribute to defining a region’s growing season and determining what can be grown Source: “The Changing Vocabulary of Food Purchasing,” Sustainable Food Laboratory.

  16. Sustainable Sustainable agriculture: a farm’s ability to produce food indefinitely, without causing irreversible damage to the earth’s ecosystem Sustainable food system: produces enough food to feed people affordably, nutritionally, and safely in a way that sustains the economic, environmental, and social systems in which the food system is embedded • Example: Chiquita Brands International • Bananas are the world’s number one export fruit • Since 1992, Chiquita has been certifying farms to meet sustainability standards through the Rainforest Alliance with its local NGO Partners in the Sustainable Agriculture Network • 100% of Chiquita’s banana farms and more than 95% of its suppliers have been certified Source: “The Changing Vocabulary of Food Purchasing,” Sustainable Food Laboratory.

  18. Case Study: Farmers’ Markets Mission To increase customer awareness regarding the usage of local produce used daily in Sodexo corporate service accounts in the Chicagoland area. Strategy Partner up with local produce vendor, Castro, which came into several units and set up a farmer’s market to educate and sell local produce. Results Overwhelming response from customers. “A quick note on how much I enjoyed the Farmers’ Market today. The price, selection, and quality were all superb and by far better than the Chicago Farmers’ Marketsheld downtown.” Participating Accounts: Northern Trust Company, Discover, Federal Reserve Bank.
