Industrial food production is dependent on substantial amounts of water and energy, as well as synthetic pesticides and fossil-fuel-based fertilizers that pollute soil, water, and air. In addition, animal agriculture often relies on antibiotics to compensate for crowded and unsanitary conditions, posing risks to both human health and animal welfare.
By partnering with local growers and institutional food purchasers in the community, and aligning with Health Care Without Harm sustainable food criteria, we are helping to support the development of local and sustainable food systems.
By 2025, we will buy all our food locally or from farms and producers that use sustainable practices, including the responsible use of antibiotics, or are verified through third-party certifiers as being sustainable.
