An inventory of food and beverage purchases that qualify as sustainably/ethically produced:
A brief description of the methodology used to conduct the inventory, including the timeframe and how representative samples accounted for seasonal variation (if applicable):
Total spend, spend on produce, seafood and spend on plant based protein were provided from Bon Appetit and their reporting system. To estimate spend on plant-based foods invoices from suppliers were processed to identify plant-based foods in mixed categories. The supplier category of 'grocery' includes all dry goods (spices, beans, pasta, oil, nuts, whole grains, canned fruit & veg) and includes simple processed foods like regular pasta, canned tuna, sauces (A-1, Chalula, tomato, etc). Sustainability staff manually searched items listed under 'grocery' that fit under sub categories (whole grans, legumes & soy, nuts & seeds, etc.) and recorded them.
For each inventory there is at least one weeks worth of invoices from each season -spring, summer/winter break and fall. Annual data is based on multiplying weekly data for that season by 17 weeks then adding the three seasons. Weekly total is 51 as the university is closed for one week in December.
