The Good Food Purchasing Policy is an expression of an institution’s values and a formal commitment to leverage its purchasing power to support local economies, nutrition, a valued workforce, environmental sustainability and animal welfare.

The Good Food Purchasing Program provides a comprehensive set of tools, technical support, and rigorous verification system to assist institutions that have adopted the Good Food Purchasing Policy meet their goals over time.
