Yesterday when Michael Dimmock mentioned the L.A. food purchasing criteria I got very interested. Here's the description on their food policy council's page:
http://goodfoodla.org/policymaking/good-food-procurement/
I've continued to recommend LOAF to congregations whenever I get the chance. (Local, Organic, Animal Friendly, Fair-traded)
But here are 5 categories in which the City of Los Angeles and LAUSD is trying to improve it's food purchasing:
(1) local economies,
(2) environmental sustainability,
(3) valued workforce,
(4) animal welfare, and
(5) nutrition
I think these maybe clearer and more comprehensive than the four categories of LOAF. But curiously they spells levan, which with a little tweaking could be levain or leaven.
Hmmm.
Wouldn't it be great if our congregations could track their progress in improving the impact of their food and beverage purchases using these?
