TUESDAY APRIL 4, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET

Every health care food purchase has an economic, environmental and social impact, whether intended or not. Healthcare food purchasers can build the health of their patients and the planet through the food they buy.

Join us for a webinar to learn about sustainable procurement and Nourish’s Values-Based Procurement (VBP) Primer, a tool to support health care food service and procurement teams, by planning for and creating positive contributions to the health of patients, their organization, and the planet.

This primer is one of the offerings of Nourish’s climate leadership Planetary Health Menus action learning program. The primer outlines the context of why Values-Based Procurement is relevant in today’s food system and shares a vision of an improved future state. It walks the reader through a readiness scan, baseline information gathering, and goal setting. The primer ends with feasible next steps and links to supportive resources. It was created through literature review, key interviews and integrated feedback from potential users, by a group of dedicated values-based procurement practitioners in the Nourish community.

For this webinar, we will be joined by co-authors from the primer:

Amy Ford, Climate Program Manager, Nourish
Hayley Lapalme, Co-Executive Director, Nourish
Dan Munshaw, Manager, Supply Management, City of Thunder Bay
Wendy Smith, Senior Contract Specialist, MEALsource, Mohawk Medbuy
