Abstract
This course focuses on utilizing and expanding the availability of local farm foods served in institutional food service operations. This course will examine a variety of institutional food service operations to see how organic, local, and sustainable foods can be added to these operations to strengthen local food system and local economies. Operational systems based on Menu development will be highlighted to show how local and organic foods can be added to many types of institutional food service operations including schools, stadiums, government agencies, corporations, hospitals, and colleges, etc.
