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):
The timeframe spans the most recent academic year (Aug 2020 through May 2021). Total expenditures were calculated by adding all receipt totals during this timeline. Most itemized purchase orders were already separated into the following categories: grains, canned and dried, produce, and dairy with the former three being used to indicate "plant-based foods." Other purchases such as tea/coffee, syrups, frozen fruit, and oils were added and included as "plant-based foods." The final category that added separated to the sheet is "plant-based meats" which included orders for meat substitutes like Beyond Burgers. Sodas and energy drinks were not included in this list.
Food and beverage items added to the "Certification" list were either explicitly noted on receipts (e.g. FTO Sumatra Coffee) or were investigated on company websites to check for certain certifications.
