Commitment description
Currently, 75% of the global food supply comes from just 12 plants and five animal species, which opens the food system up to vulnerability. Building awareness around diversifying crops and incorporating these into the food system will not only improve food and nutrition security, but will help support indigenous crop varieties, cultural and traditional foods, help with climate resilience, and decrease land deterioration and promote healthy soil. By transitioning farms to diverse crops, we unlock a cascade of benefits for ecosystems, dietary health and local economies.
Our goal is to demonstrate that a large-scale food service business can diversify its menus and supply chains to realize these benefits by increasing the proportion of agro-biodiverse foods, with legumes and grains to start, used in Food Program recipes and menus.
