FINE estimates all New England colleges spent $100-$115 million on local food during one year’s time in 2017-18
This estimate is based on data collected in this current survey and the non-respondent survey undertaken on the 2015 survey, and represents a conservative estimate of local food purchases by college.

Increasing local procurement and transparency for institutions

Farming More Land& Extending the Season
Project Goal: to increase the amount of land farmed in New England, extend the growing season and create new markets for new and emerging farmers through collective buying power and ‘forward agreements’
50,000+ meals per day4,000 lbs of beets per month
11,000 lbs of bell peppers per month
![Page 63: CAMPUS DINING 201](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052106/6287d440b3346826e4088566/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Recommendations for Campus Dining
1. Identify target purchases and specs (volume) by month
2. Identify stakeholders and set expectations. Formalize with an MOU.
3. Start the conversation with farms and play matchmaker
4. Keep in constant communication5. Bring stakeholders together to
discuss challenges (i.e. the beet dilemma)
6. Determine shared needs - what crops makes the most sense?
![Page 64: CAMPUS DINING 201](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052106/6287d440b3346826e4088566/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Challenges
1. Some farms needed to meet food safety certifications
2. Cost of local produce is higher
3. Growers can be wary of working with distributors/processors and institutions
4. Local produce is inconsistent in shape, size and challenging to process at high volume
![Page 65: CAMPUS DINING 201](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052106/6287d440b3346826e4088566/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
1. Forward purchase commitment helps farmers plan their fields and minimize lost sales
2. Processors/distributors were necessary for us
○ food safety coverage○ processed products○ logistics/delivery
3. Certain crops make more sense than others
4. Communication is key
5. Start way ahead of the growing season
