A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
Dominican's dining services contractor, Bon Appetit, has a Farm to Fork Program that aims to purchase food and beverages that are grown or processed within 150 miles. The Farm to Fork Program is top priority if there is not a large difference in cost. Seasonal, local produce is offered on all menus. Bon Appetit also purchases certified organic produce whenever possible, follows the guidelines of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch Program for seafood purchases and requires that all their shell eggs are Certified Humane.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The 11.17% reported for sustainable food expenditures may not accurately reflect purchasing practices. This percentage is only for local food purchases and does not include separate certified organic purchases or certified humane purchases, because the information for these purchases was not provided. It may be that the percentage is actually slightly higher.
