A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
Sewanee dining is self-operated, allowing for more control over the purchasing of food and beverages. Most of The University of the South's sustainable food and beverage efforts have been in the procurement of local and ecologically-sound items. When possible, Sewanee dining purchases food and beverages locally and ecologically-sound. The University of the South also has a small farm on campus where all vegetables, fruits, eggs, and meat go into the dining program.
None
A brief description of the methodology used to track/inventory sustainable food and beverage purchases:
Sewanee dining tracks local purchases using a specific 4 digit account code. However this may not fully capture all our local purchases because some invoices are not all local products and vice versa. Chef Rick Wright and Angela Sons work together to try to best capture this information fully. Students at The University of the South are also currently running the "Real Food Calculator" to track to the university's procurement of local/community-based, ecologically-sound, humane, and/or fair-traded foods.
