Institute on the Environment University of Minnesota

We’re excited to share the launch of the FoodS3 (Food System Supply-Chain Sustainability) website! Developed at the Institute on the Environment University of Minnesota, FoodS3 helps organizations track and reduce the environmental impacts of their supply chains. By providing data and insights, the model fosters more sustainable practices and makes the upstream agricultural supply chain visible – empowering groups across sectors to take meaningful action. Visit the new site and learn more about how FoodS3 is driving sustainable supply chains: https://lnkd.in/gYvQs_ZR ___ Congratulations to the team: Jennifer Schmitt, Nathaniel Springer, Will Lockhart, Aurup Ratan Dhar, Ph.D., Mo Ollenburger, Natalie Narváez, Ashley Bergman Humphrey, Annabella Lau, and Priscilla Bunday!
