2014 LEADERSHIP NOMINEES
President ’ s Perspective constraints . This means sourcing foods locally , getting rid of the unhealthy externally-prepared and heated items , training the staff to perform new tasks , and eliminating waste .
EDmarket has recognized this trend and will be exposing all attendees at EDspaces 2016 to the new ideas for the future of cafeteria food . This special exhibit / luncheon area will be sponsored by AmTab and we have partnered with experts to create a unique food experience . Beyond Green along with Candacity , Denver Equipment Company , and Foodservice Facility Designs by LMS Development LLC have teamed up to build sustainable school food communities that connect school kitchens , classrooms , and local communities through food and education . The team supports schools in implementing scratch-cooked food operations using foods from local sources , while engaging students and the school community around cooking , food and nutrition education , waste reduction , and environmental awareness .
EDspaces 2016 attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy sustainable school-style lunches on Wednesday and Thursday on the tradeshow floor . The menus are designed by Chef Greg Christian , president of Beyond Green Sustainable Food Partners , who is working in conjunction with the food service staff at the Duke Energy Convention Center to deliver a unique lunch experience for our group .
The Beyond Green team will tell the story of the future in school food in visual story boards showing students enjoying eating meals that are prepared from scratch using fresh ingredients from the school garden and local farms , practicing being good stewards of the earth by recycling and composting , and are engaging in learning about food and nutrition in green school dining centers and classrooms .
In addition , the Beyond Green team will present “ Envisioning the Future of School Food ” an education session to share trends in sustainable school food and building practices to attendees .
“ This is the future of school food ,” says Chef Greg Christian , president of Beyond Green Sustainable Food Partners . “ We are excited to be sharing real-life examples of how to implement sustainable foodservice platforms with the people charged with improving school environments .”
EDmarket is uniquely positioned to bring this new initiative to the attendees of EDspaces , but more importantly , to expose the concept to the hundreds of school districts and architects who will be designing and implementing the cafeterias of the future . Time to go to lunch ! n
