A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
The university does not have an official program in existence. However, we receive weekly e-mails from our vendors with local produce availability. The availability is checked versus volume and cost needs and purchase are made. Vendor "FreshPoint of Atlanta" automatically sends local produce, if available and below a cost threshold versus conventional produce.

A brief description of the methodology used to track/inventory sustainable food and beverage purchases:
All expenditures are tracked by our suppliers, including location of origin and miles to distribution warehouse. When we request a review of such purchases, a detailed report is provided.
