This document summarizes a study examining opportunities and barriers for Michigan State University (MSU) to increase its procurement of local, sustainably grown products. It outlines MSU's current centralized food procurement system, supply chain actors' experiences, and barriers like seasonality. The study also reviews efforts by other universities. Recent progress includes partnerships with local distributors and farms, vendor changes to increase local purchases, and MSU changes like proposed sustainability roles. While still in early stages, the local food movement and student demand indicate continued institutional change supporting local food procurement.

Session 5. Kramer - Discussant on Leveraging Dedicated Supply Chains
This document discusses leveraging supply chains to increase year-round availability and consumption of vegetables. It focuses on four areas: 1) increasing production through improved seeds, 2) getting harvests to local markets, 3) drying vegetables to reduce waste, and 4) demand creation activities. For each area, key questions are posed about how to scale interventions, barriers to adoption, and how changes in different parts of the supply chain may interact. The overall goal is to understand how to raise farmer income while improving access to affordable vegetables for consumers.

The document summarizes trends in university dining, including a transition to healthier, more sustainable options. It discusses the Menus of Change University Research Collaborative (MCURC), a group of over 200 universities working to promote healthier and more sustainable foods. The document then provides data on the environmental impacts of food purchasing and menus. It shows that the average emissions from protein purchases at MCURC schools is lower than the national average diet. The goal is to collectively reduce emissions from food purchases by 25% by changing purchasing practices and making healthy options the default while allowing for customization.

Spirulina Production
This document presents a proposal for a vegan superfood company focused on spirulina. Key points:
- There is a current need to address issues like anemia, vitamin deficiencies in babies and children. Farmers will supply spirulina.
- Madurai, India is proposed as the location. The company will market high quality spirulina powder and capsules at a comparatively low price point.
- The business model involves cultivating spirulina in ponds, processing and packaging the product for sale. Financial projections estimate the business will break even within one year and become profitable thereafter.

Session 4. Hoffmann - Discussant on Solving Market Failures in Safety
This document discusses potential research on market failures related to food safety. It proposes studying:
1) Consumer awareness and valuation of food safety attributes in India through a milk information experiment testing the impact of different information interventions.
2) The impact of a new voluntary food safety standard in South Africa on producers, retailers, consumers and overall food safety. Research would survey these groups before and after the standard's implementation.
3) Options for dual food standards that advance market access while ensuring public health, such as tailoring standards to small farm capacity. The document outlines possible research designs.

In Kenya, where high levels of under-nutrition and overweight and obesity coexist, local foods have the potential to provide ready access to affordable, key micronutrients for healthy and balanced diets. Yet, lack of consumer awareness of the nutritional value of local biodiversity, poorly developed markets and value chains and negative perceptions associated with traditional foods are leading to the underutilization and disappearance of many nutritionally-relevant species as well as the shift to unhealthy eating habits.
ACIAR is supporting research to revive interest in African Leafy Vegetables (ALVs) and to address demand and supply-side constraints linked to the marketing of these local crops. The project is building the capacity of entrepreneurial farmer groups to sustainably produce and respond to market demands for ALVs from institutional markets (such as local schools, clinics etc.). At the same time, preliminary nutrition education interventions are being undertaken in schools and communities in Busia County to increase the appreciation and use of local nutritious biodiversity to improve dietary diversity.

This document discusses transitioning a farm to organic production. It covers why farmers may want to transition, including opportunities to access new markets and potentially increase prices received. Some key changes involved are reducing chemical inputs, building soil health, and focusing on prevention and natural treatments over chemical fixes for pests and weeds. The transition process takes 2-5 years and initial harvest yields may be reduced as the soil adapts. Record keeping and certification requirements are outlined. Resources for farmers to learn more about organic standards and production are provided.

This document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted in Western Kenya to determine adoption rates of soil fertility replenishment technologies by farmers. The survey interviewed 223 farmers, about half of which were members of farmer groups, and evaluated adoption levels of 11 technologies. It found that inorganic fertilizers and improved legumes had the highest adoption rates, while technologies like intercropping and manure use had lower rates. Farmer group membership, education levels, and location influenced adoption levels. Bungoma county had significantly higher adoption than Busia and Vihiga counties.
S-MART BUDDY
This document proposes the S-MArT Buddy, a technology that attaches a LCD device and handheld scanner to supermarket trolleys. The scanner provides food content information for each item scanned to help users make healthier choices and raise awareness of unhealthy eating trends that can lead to issues like colon cancer. It targets primary grocery shoppers in Singapore and aims to empower them to distinguish between healthy and junk food products through interactive displays on the trolley like a "Healthy/Junk Meter" and "Food Breakdown Table" that show nutrition information. Users can also create family profiles to get more personalized recommendations.

This document summarizes a meeting about moving farm to school initiatives into school cafeterias through procurement practices. It discusses the School Food FOCUS collaborative and the Upper Midwest Regional Learning Lab project which is working to redirect food procurement in multiple school districts toward more healthy, regional, and sustainable foods. Baseline data on turkey, bean, and produce procurement is presented to understand current sourcing and suppliers. Efforts to explore local and regional sourcing options through supply chain research and a produce RFI are described. The challenges of transparency versus traceability in supply chains are also mentioned.Supply Chain Assessment Toolkit
The goal of this toolkit is to help you figure out what local and sustainable food is available in your region, what of it your university could be buying, and what’s missing to make this happen.
By the end of using this toolkit, you’ll know a lot more about the agricultural industry of your area– not just how it’s working now, but how it got to where it is, who’s involved in shaping its future, and how your campus can help.
indep practicum
This document is a research paper written by Jessica Fernandes for her Bachelor of Science degree in Sustainability Science from Kean University. The paper examines attitudes of Kean University students towards expanding sustainable food options on campus. Fernandes conducted a survey to determine student opinions on organic, local foods and interest in a sustainable food program. The survey results showed most students were interested in more organic and local food options and willing to pay more. The university currently offers limited organic and local foods and does not have a sustainable food program. Fernandes concludes expanding sustainable food options would benefit the university based on student interest found in the survey results.

Food Value Chains - Presentation.pptx
The document summarizes a 2014 report on food value chains. It defines food value chains as strategic alliances between farmers/ranchers and supply chain partners built on shared values like environmental and social concerns. These alliances distribute rewards equitably across partners through collaboration and mutual support. The report provides guidance on initiating, structuring, and maintaining values-based food supply chains to create shared value for all participants. It explores benefits like market expansion, intelligence and loyalty through case studies and concludes that food value chains acknowledge partnerships where all parties share risks and gains.
