Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Hospitality Services, Forward Food Initiative
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The University of Guelph, Hospitality Services is a proud partner with Forward Food. Forward Food is supported and endorsed by an array of diverse organizations, institutions and other partners who support the idea that as a society, we ought to be focusing more on plant-based foods as a means of creating a better food system. Forward Food is working to transform menu choices at institutions such as colleges and universities to reduce meat purchases by 20% through emphasizing healthier plant-based foods.
Hospitality Services is committed to transitioning 20% of meat-protein purchases to plant-based proteins. For example, Hospitality Services is transitioning 100% Beef Burgers to the "Sustainable Steak Burger" - which is locally made by our supplier VG Meats - a 100% Ontario beef burger made with 28% mushroom stems (which would be food waste if not used) - this reduces our meat based protein for a more sustainable menu option, while at the same time helping to reduce food waste from the waste stream.
