Organic Inroads to School and Institutional Foodservice

Though organic sales in foodservice are still small – representing just over 4% of the $16.7 billon organic industry in the U.S. in 2006 – organic is poised for growth in this channel. Foodservice and processing sectors will come together in this session to share an understanding of the unique needs of the foodservice industry and highlight out-of-the box, unconventional methods that are helping institutional foodservice embrace healthy, organic foods in the absence of any major program or federal funding initiative. Learn how these two sectors can effectively build relationships and help organic succeed in foodservice.
