Sustainability Announcement
The United Fresh Research and Education Foundation has introduced a new center to benefit its members - the Center for Global Produce Sustainability. The center was created with a $1.1 million endowment grant from Bayer CropScience.
The center will be housed with other UFPA centers. The goal of the center will be to educate members on whole supply chain sustainability - from the field to the retail shelves. Sustainability programs will be developed with science-based metrics, said Tom Lovelace, chairman of UFPA.
The first step will be to create an advisory board, then begin looking for a full-time staff member to focus on sustainability, said Tom Stenzel, president of UFPA.
