Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

This estimate came from data we received on food purchases by the EMU and UO Food Services (which includes catering) for FY2010. The break-down is as follows.

EMU known local (within 250 miles)/USDA Organic/Fair Trade purchases in FY10 were $122,318. Total EMU food purchases were $512,349.

Housing/Catering known local (within 250 miles)/USDA Organic/Fair Trade purchases in FY10 were $348,431.20. Total Housing Food Services purchases were $6,286,326.79.

Notes:
1) The EMU does not have the data tracking availability to show their USDA organic food purchases, however, most of the local/Fair Trade purchases they reported were also organic.
2) The OIMB does not track characteristics of food that it purchases, and UO Portland does not have an institution-run dining establishment.
