Still energized from this convening at UCSC last week! We brought together dining directors and UC leadership from across the system to envision how we get to 25% sustainable food purchasing across the board. Our team lifted up insights we gathered from speaking with dining teams. We presented pilots we are launching and growing with Permanent, Vesta Foodservice, Yolo Food Network (Capay Valley Farm Shop, Marcellus Foods, Matriark Foods) and Cream Co. And threw our support for re-invigorating student-driven procurement action with Real Food Challenge. SupplyChange is ready for Phase 2 of this project and helping UC charge forward as a global leader in institutional procurement!
What a generative Phase 1 convening for our UC Wide Sustainable Food Service and Sourcing Project held at the Center for Agroecology these past few days. The project brought together UC Campus and Health Centers Dining Directors, Chefs, Sustainability Staff, and Procurement Staff with systemwide leadership and our incredible Technical Assistance Team weaving in the USDA Southwest Regional Food Business Center (SWRFBC), Community Alliance with Family Farmers, Real Food Challenge/Anchors In Action, Shared Plate Strategies, & SupplyChange. The ability to map oppportunities, gaps, and pilot to scale efforts was further elevated with additional guest presenters including Roots Of Change lifting grassfed beef/meat and eco-system responsive cattle ranching in the west as well as the Alice Waters Institute and their healthy and sustainable K-higher ed school food project efforts. Our campus catering team included small scale and regional sustainable procuders and fisherfolx (shot out to Real Food Fish!) across lunches and a field to table dinner at the UCSC Farm. After two days on the UCSC Farm and HayBarn we took the group to visit veteran organic regional farmer Dick Peixoto at Lakeside Organics with their cooling and aggregation facility to the Agriculture Land Based Training Association (ALBA) farming program graduate and shero Bertha Magaña on her 9 acre farm outside of San Miguel to better engage the spectrum of underserved and beginning farmer to scaled farming enterprises and how institutions like the UC can better serve our smaller scale first gen, women owned, tribal, and undereserved producers and vendors as we build a more sustainable and equitable values based food supply chain! More to come as we wrap up Phase I and move into the next year of our collective efforts! https://lnkd.in/gXk7qNgy

This June we have so much to celebrate: SupplyChange’s 4 year anniversary, founder H’s 37th birthday, and of course, Pride Month! We are a proudly queer and transmasc-owned business led by multiethnic AFABs. For those that are our close friends and colleagues, you already know how much H champions queerness and “mixed-ness” as some of the most powerful lenses to bring to systems change work - including and especially food systems. To hold identities outside of societal norms is to commit to a lifelong journey of seeing and solving problems differently, and to finding and deepening relationships with our chosen families and communities so that we can write our own “science fiction” to bring new futures to life. As queer systems change visionary adrienne marie brown says, “Science fiction is simply a way to practice the future together…It is our right and responsibility to create a new world.” We’re proud to be continually queering food systems with our approach, and creating new, re-regionalized, just worlds with likeminded allies, partners, and farms. Enjoy some photos below of our new farm partner Star Route Farm/Catskills Agrarian Alliance in upstate New York, which H had the pleasure of visiting last month. Sending love to all of our LGBTQ+ partners and allies in this work, and Happy Pride! #pridemonth #LGBTQAlly #supplychange 🏳️🌈 🏳️🌈 H Nieto-Friga (Frambach) Tianna Kennedy Anna Bohbot (Zulaica)

The Kitchen Sync Strategies Collaborative is made up of Kitchen Sync Strategies and our close friends SupplyChange LLC and Shared Plate Strategies. Together, we're bringing a value chain lens to this work so that we don't lose track of the farm in farm-to-school. :-) Stay tuned for more! #farmtoschool #valuechaincoordination #localfood
