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):
Sustainably or Ethically Produced: Dining Services provided a list of fair trade items, typically those ordered for the on-campus grocery store, and an inventory of itemized orders for a period in the fall, summer and spring. The lists were compared and Fair Trade items on the inventory were reported. websites were used to determine other certifications. Items that did not list Fair Trade as a certification on their website were removed.
Plant-based: Categories other than Produce & Plant based proteins are from main supplier invoices. Supplier category of 'grocery' includes all dry goods (spices, beans, pasta, oil, nuts, whole grains, canned fruit & veg) and includes simple processed foods like regular pasta, canned tuna, sauces (A-1, Chalula, tomato, etc). We manually searched items listed under 'grocery' that fit under sub categories (Whole grans, legumes & soy, nuts & seeds, etc.) and recorded them.
For each inventory there is at least one invoice from each season -spring, summer/winter break and fall. Annual data is based on multiplying weekly data for that season by 17 weeks then adding the three seasons. There were two weeks of data for September so weeks were averaged an the averaged used in the seasonal calculation.
