Hear from jurisdictions that have developed good local food programs in keeping with the municipal role. Learn about resources that exist to guide your efforts and help evaluate your programs.
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.

Breaking down walls and building participationNFCACoops
For more than 170 years, food co-ops have worked to achieve the ideals of democracy, empowerment and inclusion—ideals we continue to strive toward today. How can co-ops continue to work to ensure our doors are open to all people, "without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination," in keeping with the 7 Cooperative Principles? This starts by identifying who we’re excluding and then taking action to be more welcoming, recognizing that we are better—and more successful and relevant—when we are more inclusive, when we lift one another up, and when we work together to remove barriers to participation. Join us to explore how the Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NCFA) is working with its 35 member food co-ops, startups and partners across New England to address this question through our Food Co-ops & Healthy Food Access work.
During this interactive workshop, IMPACT participants will learn how NCFA’s structure as a federation of food co-ops is supporting innovation and learning among member food co-ops about sourcing, healthy food access, economic inclusion and peer collaboration. Participants will learn techniques and tools to evaluate and improve programs to engage and better serve low-income and marginalized community members and expand co-op membership and participation. You’ll leave with the tools necessary to help differentiate your co-ops in the marketplace and use community feedback to improve your co-op’s image and relevance—particularly among people who don’t see themselves reflected at your store.

By 2050, it is estimated that the Earth’s population will top 9 billion. This growing
population will undeniably stress our food systems, natural resources, and ecosystems.
But consider this: Currently, we waste up to 40 percent of our food globally. In the United
States, this equals roughly 400 pounds annually for every American. Meanwhile, one in
seven Americans are food insecure.
These stunning facts—partnered with seeing waste occur firsthand through our work
with our operating farm and the restaurants and grocery stores it services—really
brought this issue home for us. This prompted us as philanthropists and a family
concerned about healthy communities and ecological sustainability to ask our team to
explore the topic of wasted food.
Through our family foundation, we have been focused on solving large-scale
environmental issues with market-based solutions since 2001. We started by looking at
how funding solutions to climate change, both through grants and impact investments,
can play an important role in transitioning our society to a low-carbon economy.
PepsiCo: Delivering Access to Safe Water through PartnershipsSustainable Brands
In 2013, Pepsi announced that by teaming up with partners around the globe, it had provided access to safe water for more than three million people, meeting that goal more than two years ahead of schedule. Since then, it has doubled the original goal, and now intends to provide access to six million people by the end of 2015 through partnerships.
An important part of holistic water stewardship is advocacy through partnership. PepsiCo has formed strategic alliances with organizations including the United Nations Global Compact’s CEO Water Mandate, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development Water Leadership Group, the U.S. Water Alliance, Cambridge University, and many more.
In addition to PepsiCo’s business initiatives in key geographies, collaboration with a portfolio of water partners is instrumental to its progress. By seeking out and leveraging the strengths of its water partners, PepsiCo and the PepsiCo Foundation support and enable creative new strategies that achieve measurable and sustainable progress in the fight to alleviate water insecurity and provide access to safe water.
These initiatives include water conservation, distribution, purification, and hygiene for underserved communities in China, India, Mali, Brazil, Colombia and other Latin American countries. Statements of intent inspire and motivate, but effective action on the ground is where change happens. The greatest resource in this effort centers on key collaborations with a diverse and innovative core of water partners.
This presentation from the 46th NOFA Summer Conference focuses on how our food co-ops make a priority of supporting local farmers and producers. We build sustainability through long-term relationships, transparency, and our sales channels complimenting direct marketing, offering volume, marketing, and stable, year-round markets. Explore what’s entailed in having your products in co-ops and innovative ways co-ops foster farmer sustainability.

Measuring and Communicating Our Impact for Shared SuccessNFCACoops
To compete effectively, our co-ops need to demonstrate what sets us apart. This presentation from the Consumer Co-op Management Association (CCMA) 2018 Conference in Portland, OR shares strategies from efforts to measure and communicate impact, both at the individual food co-op level and the regional level through a federation of co-ops. Last year, Central Co-op (WA) hired a firm to evaluate how it benefits its community. The resulting Local Impact Study revealed outcomes even greater than expected, enabling the co-op to communicate its impact for its members and the wider community through meetings, public events, publications, and social media. On a regional level, an informal network of food co-ops in New England commissioned a similar study ten years ago as part of its effort to understand their collective impact. This report was a revelation for participating co-ops, demonstrating impact far beyond expectations. This provided a foundation for shared visioning and incorporation as a formal secondary co-op of food co-ops focused on shared marketing and educational initiatives, peer collaboration, and sourcing projects to support mutual success. Today, the Neighboring Food Co-op Association collects impact data on an annual basis, working with interns from a local University to compile data and make the case for the contribution of food co-ops to a more inclusive economy.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE:
FROM ADVOCACY TO OPERATIONS
11. Confidential and Proprietary Page 11
NCG Climate Change
• NCG is helping to reverse climate change by offsetting a portion
of our greenhouse gas emissions, providing resources to co-ops,
encouraging industry peers to take action, investing in organic
agriculture, and informing consumers about the connection
between food and climate.
• Like all of NCG’s advocacy activities, our work on climate change
is informed by our advocacy guidelines, which are regularly
reviewed and updated by the Advocacy Advisory Committee, a
group of co-op GMs and staff that meet with our advocacy senior
manager, Allie Mentzer. Currently Ed King (Littleton Food Co-
op) represents co-ops in the eastern corridor on the committee.
The guidelines inform NCG’s formal public position statement on
climate
12. Confidential and Proprietary Page 12
NCG Public Position on Climate Change
• National Co+op Grocers acknowledges that human-caused climate change poses a threat to a
habitable ecosystem and places the food supply at risk. As a result, NCG prioritizes efforts to
reverse global warming, particularly within the context of sustainable, resilient food systems that
are based upon regenerative organic farming and regional, cooperative supply chains.
• Recognizing climate change as one of the biggest issues facing the business community, NCG
demonstrates leadership by encouraging collaboration in pursuit of supply chain innovations that
reduce the food industry’s greenhouse gas emissions. To this end, the National Co+op Grocers
Climate Collaborative Awards, offered through the Climate Collaborative, were created to honor
natural foods companies making innovative and meaningful commitments to climate action.
• Additionally, NCG provides member and associate co-ops with resources to significantly reduce
their operations’ greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2012, NCG has been offsetting a portion of its
own carbon emissions by planting and protecting over 1.4 million native trees in the Co+op Forest,
a United Nations accredited program
13. Confidential and Proprietary Page 13
Co-op Forest
• Last year, NCG funded the planting or conservation of approximately 70,777 trees in the San
Martin region of Peru to offset 1,197 tons of carbon dioxide emissions associated with NCG’s 2017
business travel and utilities.
• The investment is NCG’s sixth annual contribution to the program pioneered by PUR Projet in
partnership with cocoa co-ops in and around San Martin. To date, NCG’s offsets have facilitated
the planting and/or protection of nearly 2 million trees in the Amazon.
• River Valley and Common Market have offset a portion of their emissions through Co+op Forest.
14. Confidential and Proprietary Page 14
Ten Ways to Reduce the Co-op Carbon Footprint
• Know your carbon footprint
• Seek energy efficiency
• Preventative maintenance on refrigeration:
• Low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants
• Culture and habits
• Zero waste
• Sales of local products
• Influence suppliers
• Renewable energy
• Carbon offsets

Partners in Change
National Co+op Grocers and Partners Raise
$113,575 for The Carbon Underground’s
Initiatives to Restore Soil Health, Combat Climate
Change
The Carbon Underground works to connect
farmers, consumers, academia, businesses,
NGOs and governments to work collaboratively
to avert catastrophic climate change.
16. Confidential and Proprietary Page 16
NCG provides climate resources to co-ops
• NCG maintains the Co+efficient program, a custom online
program co-ops can use to track their sustainability metrics. NCG
has created resources for co-ops interested in improving their
carbon footprint, refrigeration efficiency, water use and waste
reduction, all of which impact climate. Co-ops can use
Co+efficient resources to set goals and improve those metrics, so
that we can aggregate all co-op data to produce national reports
on food co-op sustainability.
•
• NCG is working with Cooperative Development Foundation
(CDF) to establish a Disaster Recovery Fund for NCG co-ops.
We piloted this last year by raising $27,000 to help Tidal Creek
recover from severe flooding after Hurricane Florence.
17. Confidential and Proprietary Page 17
NCG Informs Consumers about Food and Climate
NCG also publishes articles co-ops can share with their communities
on topics related to food and climate, highlighting Project Drawdown
research showing how organic agriculture, plant-rich diets, pasture-
raised animals, reducing food waste, and shopping co-op can help
reverse climate change. See the full list of climate articles on the
Co+op, stronger together website.
19. Our co-op will be central to a
resilient and connected Upper
Valley community.
Because of all that we do, people in
the Upper Valley will have:
• Access to healthful, affordable
food
• A supportive market for local
farmers and producers
