Download Appendix I-Working with your Institution of the Food Guide. 

Your decision to read this guide shows that you’ve already taken the first step by deciding to make a difference at your Jewish institution. This section will guide you through the conversations you will need to have and the steps you will need to take to make changes. Keep in mind that every Jewish institution is unique, with their own set of values and priorities. The more you are able to show that you understand your institution’s values, and that the changes you are proposing will benefit your community, the more successful you will be.

The material in this section is adapted from Oxfam’s “Farm to School Toolkit” and The Sustainable Food Policy Project’s “A Guide to Developing Sustainable Food Purchasing Policy.”
