Food service procurement offers untapped potential to pave the way for healthier, more sustainable diets. How can organizations rethink their procurement strategies to prioritize nutrition and drive significant progress?

According to Jackie Schulz, MS, RDN, Global Senior Director of Nutrition at Griffith Foods, “If we want to see real change in food systems, we need to embed nutrition considerations into every stage of decision-making, including procurement. Equipping teams with the right knowledge helps ensure that nutrition isn’t an afterthought but a core part of how food is sourced and served.”
