SUMMARY:Setting\, Measuring\, and Reporting Crop Specific Sustainability Goals
DESCRIPTION:New opportunities are emerging to leverage crop-specific sustainability programs and associated goals to address the growing consumer preference for sustainably-produced food ingredients. This webinar will provide examples of approaches to setting\, measuring\, and reporting crop-specific sustainability goals . Each of the organizations and example crops featured operate in different contexts – both environmental and regulatory – and yet the approaches to setting goals and measuring progress overlap in meaningful ways.\n\nDiscussion topics include strategies to engage growers in upstream data collection; approaches to quantitatively measure sustainability goals; and partnerships in supporting goal implementation and collaboration with buyers to identify needs and create the right supply chain incentives. Participants will comment on future opportunities to link crop-specific sustainability goals to procurement needs to foster conditions for win-win outcomes for both growers and end-consumers.\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n  \nEric Harris\, SureHarvest\nJennifer Bowe\, OceanSpray\nGabriele Ludwig\, Almond Board of California\nLydia Holmes\, USA Rice\n  \nSeries Times and Dates\n\nWebinars will be hosted on Tuesday and Thursday of the second full workweek of each month. Topics will span the breadth of relevant sustainability topics including waste\, deforestation\, sustainable agriculture\, sustainable design\, worker rights\, and more.
