What does sustainability mean for a food service company? What are the challenges?
Bon Appétit’s commitment to sustainability makes it possible for chefs to make purchasing choices that support local farmers and producers. This purchasing approach benefits the entire system of food. It keeps local farmers in business, allows the chefs to feature organic, regional and seasonal food, and ensures that guests are served the healthiest, freshest food possible. The challenges are the same ones that farmers face; the weather can affect the availability of fruits and vegetables, and keeping local distribution systems in place during seasonal changes is hard work.
