Panel 1: Ensuring Sustainability

Institutions generally do not have the bandwidth to monitor every aspect of their food supply chains and must rely on external organizations for assistance.  Certifications that apply to different parts of the supply chain are an efficient tool to understand whether food is sourced sustainably, but often limit the definition/scope of sustainability and do not cover the multitude of issues. Yet challenge is how an institution reports on their progress on sustainability; specific metrics used need to address the scale, diversity, and maturity of these institutions. In this panel, we will discuss how various organizations, such as certification bodies or civil society organizations, can support institutions in their quest for sustainable food procurement.
