“Chew On This”- The Business Case Behind Sustainable Food

downline backgrounds b_b_c_ dick so we might not be uneasy even a that's two

u_s_ seats

so obviously display just will come back the then uh...

other products that are available that you can see you know too tied together

and

and i guess my background is well contaminants

uh... might help to know that we uh... in

national the standards in the u_k_ to change internet

children

i think this tremendous in england

said that's one way and testing of their my interest is and something

studying this subject outside what

has a masters seller

okay so it's not just about the big story on watch and much bigger campus

team so that is and

expatriate s

and which include state services and

engineers without borders c sp

uh...

words is c sedan hands u_p_c_ that stowell

and just a quick inspection their planes and how and

parties sticking it to you

every

and didn't know what

how it

n

long

in there

aboard of it

on hill

long

lou

on

on

one

on

we're talking

acting

further that that

the net

you mean

okay

how anymore

some install being one of already if spot

you know and and tones

villages remain

of these

and i think that's the problem here

wanted

just wanted to understand

or before involved rebirth

why not

these images and media also

it's

or

blackboard are arabs

invited

it's easy

tomorrow on to wanting will cannot

just going to be a bit of the backgrounds to what you bcs compliances

fairtrade they didn't think people understand

u_p_c_ is kansas that's fair trade campus more teams

and how it started

annotated the concept of nervous lex which is closely linked to the fair

trade

the process send have presumptive store dot expect changes tennessee university

and what challenges we face

that we have faced in getting something like this and said successes

and for someone for maintenance itself but work

like and pcs that's that

so what is fair trade seven

just to give you

definition is where i'm coming from

it's connects disadvantage produces an conceived as

and provide fair trading conditions it's not just about combating poverty and

but it's himself friendship and it's also taking into account environmental

standards as to how products the ground

so ubi seats become penetrates compliance actually began in two

thousand four

and began s at president at the time that she got scott being introduced

and

that's become fully complying there or not there are a number of other products

that that

the university of union campus university has to look at

one was we needed steve and we need is at least three choices yet in any an ass

with the services outlets

chocolates so wherever you go

in terms of um...

weekend feet census outlets will be an essay on time actually said

fair trades

and there are a number of other products that they have to look at increasing

study purchasing manager on campus has a visit

responsibilities to the products that sourcing which

as we've said to not just in to defeat a cooking food clothing as such as

costumes and uniforms to staff

uh... once commented related products

disability said the u_p_s_ dvc hasn't uh...

and responsibility to make people aware

what fairtrade product is where it's available

and whatever we his and it also had to have a fair trade committee that was

uh...

brunt of the president's level

hands last year you bc became

kansas fast food trade campus because matt those criteria

now at the university in camp that's actually don knapp

but they are

encouraged by what we did so they're trying to

helps them to take the engineers without borders i don't know if you know

engineers without borders that they were responsible for the compliance that you

can see

so that the you bc bookstore

we've starts in two thousand four not with the expect actually the clothing

and you know the clothing and you can see that stripes

so it does fall if any policy

that actually means man

i don't know if anyone knows what the fed eight percent station is apples

in the last few weeks announce that historians come part of the family per

se ciation

which uh...

may have had issues with panic our work force is somewhat practices of

politically may have seen some

public relations stories

so they've now agrees to join the family association

it was an incorporated nineteen ninety nine

anissa collaborative efforts to colleges universities

and civil society organization

as well as

companies

to improve working conditions in factories around the world so there are

a number of uh... issues as companies continue to grow

and i guess if i guess supply chains despite all they have two systems in

place

to protects their workers

said no sweat to means that any clothing and is supplying to the books still are

expected to comply

we've guidelines which include no forced labor no child labor

no veracity or abuse

no discrimination of any type including sexual

and termination

embrace religion

does not allowed to be any of that type of discrimination as very strong women's

rights

wages and benefits allison works environmental guidelines any factory

that works with us has to sign off

on those and

times the mass quite similar

to what's

some of the family the practices in guidelines offer food as well

so we started with acts at marymount two hundred colleges and universities in the

north american who was sent

members of the f_ l_ a_

uh...

but we have moved on but seeing them

uh... but looking at many of the products in partnership with linda

saddled in terms of challenges for detect still in the universe in general

in europe fairtrade is very far pots

in canada

it's been very challenging frost find supply is

for example when we do on trade shows where we can meet possible vendors and

suppliers out to the thousand suppliers

twenty thing treatment distance

most of these achhi u_s_ companies sunil and we actually wants what the canadian

companies as much as we can

and

and said this is one of the key challenges that we face

not many people now

the exact definition of fair trade so when it first came to campus or in the

last few days people said is a free trade spine and what free trade is

some people confuse it with organic local sustainable so when they see

uh... products and they're they're not quite sure

they think it's another factor marketing turn

so we have to work to build the education piece before people even make

that conscious decision to buy the products

so what we did is he what would be so the school of business of apartments

that i've mentions and one of the student groups tends to defect rate is

one of their projects and that she commissioned for such across the hall

campus i don't know whether any of you sold this i think that we had convinced

some of you did

as it was link that was sent out was widely as possible

and it was looking acts what's and the knowledge is a poor products available

when they're available dipti people may want fair trade is

forty six percent somewhat aware

and welfare treaties said they'd never seen a single product on campus

and

the other issue that we have these

advance walls sent

okay forty percent sixth sense that they were way of what fair trade is that

do students recap

about fair trading this campus i'll be seeing a picnic minced we didn't want to

fight its products

i guess is a student one of the key issues is pricing

rampant trade products ah...

united and more expensive

because

more money is going back to workers

the funny thing is that more that we die cheaper the price is the become said for

example

in the u_k_ with fair trade is very pregnant and you go into any sea market

in the majority of products a fair trade

uh... or they just smells with the best of the products that you'll see the

prices is coming down to match pretty much

any of the product that's installed

whereas here there is a big price discrepancy ackerman its

uh... between fairtrade not so much on coffee supply encompassed consists of

two points behind

that uh... other products is a pricing

and people don't understand where that money's going so wilson

you know willingness surgeon

to pay the price difference

then the specifications has a confusion around that long ago on the

but that might lead that it is minded an existing logo that you might see that's

actually being phased out the actual global standards

is the green bay

the green blue makes it very easy to identify

the trouble is it's very hard to get a sense cation

so and he made no store called ten thousand villages

nothing that they sell is fair trade such flights cuz the common consent

cations they don't use the time ten trades

dots

or their products

most of the money

will go back

to the actual pharma producer who produced the products

it's easy a few feet to be fair trade since five not for many of the products

so is it do you know if you have that symbol and it's great and you can

understand the concept but when you can't use that symbol

that visual identity is actually lessens considerably

so in the book store we do have uh...

accessories we have two alternates we have teas in partnership with the

services we have creams

and they're bringing in soccer balls

so now we don't have a huge range of factory product that has a settled the

clothing is no sweat

and then we also have insight calm seas which were perhaps you know

and sustainable products in a way because it

para sportsman

paris given to the child in need in also have to print t-shirts way

the products or the proceeds go to uh... books patrika

said there were very asians on the sustainable feed

son

another lucky successes as i mentioned to being the partnerships that we've

built on campus and

a lot of that other campuses where they're saying is that they're trying to

find it just to students meet and have the and

the actual staff for administrative support for the initiative sometimes

worry quite lucky

and then as i said we plants along with students and

sort of equity plans indeed systems obviously that's the key area contrast

to the students and their witnesses

ninety three percent

a fair trade

and uh... go beyond and you bc common energy

sad

one of the best them things that we are doing

in terms of how shit is we are running and

the camps is fast and trade week

so we decided to run a number of crated sad they will be some most of them were

folks some dates will be coffee tea can honest chocolate

but we decided to increase that to make people aware that there are at the

products

available what's really funny is that we couldn't get

writes tax dustbunnies coffee it's easy to get stuck some coffee and how much

money goes back to the following

it is fair trade among fair trade

the you can't get back to many of the products is just not available

no matter how far more ideal etc

so that's definitely an answer

an issue people don't

parenting is ten times but we're not uh... that's not

actually britain down anyway

so we going to have crates is still be going out and this is a win supports of

uh...

and trade me

son

if you would like that information u_p_c_ field services is hosting the

pages you can see you then

fairtrade week

it's not life yet and that's why i put the other link that for you

we will be having a flash mall defended the bookstore defends isn't supplies

free coffee hours all across campus

the scavenger hunts

and movie of an unfair trade field luncheon lands and sea-based taking

place before not too so we can measure the awareness

that uh... whether that is actually any increase

in knowledge about where fair trade products paul and what they actually are

on campus

so and want to i think what what we'd like to ask you to actually do

as a result circle

landing about fair trade in the partnerships on campus

if and you should join inveterate leak

you can actually planting or you can take part in a flash mall dont switch at

the training session takes place

on march the fastest twelve thirty

and the danielle correct atrium

all in the saab next to the denny

on march the fifth

uh... you can dress up as the batana

coffee t

uh... range of other exciting types of peace

and

also other is whether they know what their trade means what you bcs role is

and where products are available

tried to products

let us know if you think it's still hard to find information out after penetrate

week facts looking for

i want to talk to a perjurer yung berg

we just talked to a fair trade someone continue the story

we are the largest importer of fair trade

fruits and vegetables into canada

and that's my job i get to the old child when i'm sort of bring back to my child

who does it work

and in all things we want to do before

uh... i'd i'm and mexico

uh... pruer chile about once every three weeks it seems

i never get the yard work done and i forget which take garbage goes from

sound awesome

these pictures

and real quick to videos and camera footage and still photographer website

so depicted consumer in our business we've done last month

uh... food coop of thirty five hundred chemo growers milan's record or

and tone

alone

arrangements for the quick reminder that the back is actually a fair trade

marketing manager and she was in ecuador working

uh... sia and she said that all

but used to see some slides to biologist talked with briefly

the fair trade world has gone through a huge revolution right now

in the last

you're tuned there's been a huge amount of

park two phone calls to small world

uh... fairtrade that

deferred trademark in houston seeing and the fair trade world was designed to

help small groups of growers producers mother's car to your coffee urban mass

basically use down stand in the way of uh...

status quo to of the world trade system which has been going on since marco polo

started traveling around the world

bunker

what happens four

well against office

this is a summer school for eleven hundred kids and account we buy bananas

uh... the dividend and that's when the rivers was coming

we'd alone generate above

twenty seven hundred dollars a week and social premiums to go to this one town

just on our banana purchases which is one-tenth of the bananas produced not

town which right now all seems fair trade

also

uh... anyhow

we were able to fight to summer school for every kid in this town one hundred

kids so i was there last week and they did a banana dance and

insist

an overwhelming deal social premiums that there's a big part of fair trade

that people don't care about

we negotiate with the grower divider bananas for export dollars

we also pay an additional one dollar per box

at various product the product of the message the dollar barks

and that goes back to the community the community

passed to decide what to do with that money

in the case of these banana cooperatives

they're taking in sixty thousand dollars a year

we did something wrong

pistonsfan all ok here

goes down

and that got to start taking in

six thousand dollars we

sometimes mostly

two-star co-op alone

sixty two ten sixty thousand dollars a week and social prints going into this

one region

so they've been able to put windows in the high school carbon as the elementary

school create a high school technical college university scholarships

medical programs

are cautious but in a dental clinic a medical clinic

social counseling uh... define the soccer team uniforms they have a micro

finance system in the team elements house

four five hundred

mil two thousand euros floating itself any worker of any of the cost is thirty

seven hundred families

of access to all this that so that's the most important part of a fair trade

getting a fair prices certainly absolutely important

the for the social premiums much more important this is what it goes to

the this assignment will see and hear that

basically says education is the best investment these are all schoolkids on

summer holiday

learning style

but what's happened

in the fair trade movement is

it's become

houses like chevron older role for the environment as it's become a huge fan of

green washing unfair washing has been a race to the

talk for each company big corporation to try to make themselves come off like

that

you know they're going so much for everybody

and

and what happens is we've now got

gone from one major certified or two years ago being deferred trademark you

just saw turnout eighteen certification systems in two years

over a valid

uh...

uh... one of them are for-profit systems that are used to certify and other

things

uh... we've got uh...

we've got a break away from the ideas as for smallholder somehow

fairtrade intermarriage

fairtrade u_s_a_ been columns are part of this fair treatment certified dual

last year for bananas rainforest alliance

uh... as a certified

huge plantations on budget either dole nestle is

and other major corporations so it's a big debate right now about

millions and millions of farmers out there in the previous world puzzle is

talking to producers and textiles home arrest or talking with the livelihoods

of millions of millions of people

independent

their clinging to this fair trade hold them for the first time in their culture

the rush to get paid fairly and not just ripped off by the white people from the

north which is what the oc

company stock

uh...

so the

there's really a lot of confusion i think in the fair trade industries to

see more and more labels we already have three for three fairtrade certifications

for different products to bring in

and it's going to be exactly where it actually was ten or fifteen years ago

where

there was two hundred eighty different certified

organic standards in north america and that was too

this many many certified for meeting standards

and i'm currently on the north american fur trade six was canceled

we're trying to actually come up with the north american standard that all

fair trade surprised about that

for certifies would have to do

me

which i think is just for the whole industry growing up

it's true fair trade is nothing in canada it's much less and yes compared

to

compared to europe

and i'm hoping that we get there fast it's

it's like pulling teeth sometimes but

two years ago we brought the first container bananas from this town that

weren't sold to dl

and now and now a deeper and unite eighty five percent of all the banana

saltzman town which is sixty container sixty thousand cases a weakened

household for trade

and all last appeared for the masstricht treaty dot them so we turn the whole

time

town around but we're first remember so interesting to me

now ur cell lines twenty seven hundred silverstein

that's progress cases sourcing

pretty steep growth but not like it isn't belgium or fifty seven percent of

the past missiles fair trade as opposed to point one percent of u_s_

but it's huge movie

we came here to talk with things and fair trade on limit amazingly talkable

local food

sustainability business models

and work it back into this what's on that

let's talk a little bit because it's really big

in the news it's really began people's heads

we have from

an unlimited number

of uh... local

work mask export for it

we're the biggest grower of raspberries in the world we export a million pounds

a day

or week we collect two million com today which we freeze annex for all around the

world

it's a contest between us and

romania

bowlers to somebody who discloses that no over a million pounds of ninety

harvest and freeze in the personnel

ninety percent as long as we grow go so if you can find bc apples and three rd

japan australia

guadalajara produce market in central mexico argentina europe we produced tons

apples

there's no shortage of these products

we have a marketing system to make sure that we don't overgrown and only heaven

uh... cars next terms carrots potatoes

cabbage

isn't our marketing system that controls

read crop production so we don't over projects because it's hard for us to

compete and u_s_ on those products

the place for missing the sandbox vegetables

versions of the robot arm and we only have a

very sure three-and-a-half months frost free trade agreement

and

we have two things there really is

problematic in it's hard to explain to people who say why can we get local this

in little rock

they're really talking about broccoli and let us in

now talking about apples and peaches 'cause we

we know that part

it's because we value our agricultural and is supposed to have a big box

proposal

so if you were going to a few yes you're going to go through the forms when the

first of all you have to put on a million-and-a-half dollars just to point

when he could reform which is uh...

lowest level of from both mental and you'll be able to grow on

successfully

and they're really rich dad

and talking to you

afterimage study form

you no

in every front door

even in

everywhere we have a good growing lands

the bom and where the rivers are that's workload stands for

sorrento and

and seminar marin nelson and

every other major center then on top of mountains from the rate of the

agricultural land

so our agricultural industry too expensive and the second thing is that

you think the government to be networks have more local production

the government all about house growing

food crops for biofuel and food crops for exports we've lost ten thousand

acres of some stunning growing in the freezer rally

to do this

because blueberries

a full antioxidants and there's no limit on the blueberries we can grow

until two years from now when people find it uh... to something i suspect

sold look growing local inc

increasing the supply of local feed fresh produce is

it's tough people want more and more

weekend tomorrow effect this year we had to actually bring in more or less and

kaelin shortened parsley than ever before from course in washington oregon

and we can consider a farm in mount vernon notes in our driveway local

because americans

but we consider food from prince george local even though it's farther away from

california

there's always some problems with the final local news

but the area where after looking at a business model d carryover we can

actually grow our economy do it in a very sustainable way do it in a

profitable way

and do it in the way that helps farms road

isn't isn't

processed foods

which is what most people can't sue jams jellies salsa dried apples blah blah

blah we can grow any amount of that

and we can

tickets are processing

plant and produce higher value

products

that will sell well

and extremely competitive and and this is why

all that stuff i just mentioned

so she when you look at dried fruit

and uh... pastes fruits ninety nine percent nine nine nine percent water but

ninety percent water at least

and the cost of moving food around the world is incredibly expensive

and told her brown's count

visa grow rockin merritt bc u grows

big storage competency love sandy keeps misread seller

and in january he figures while the president tell cabbage is really good

peels them down and he wants to get a dog dollar a pound

market happen herman this could be some sense

so we bring

we bring cabbage down from the northern

interior

to sell and it cost twenty eight cents a pound to get it from

just north of ran into here

that's half the value right there

and that's only to get worse bones

gets worse and worse seemingly every day

picassos

an exorbitant amount five thousand dollars for us to bring a truck to

produce from colored

five thousand dollars as a matter of personal letters from now

with on the convention site is actually

the produce in the truck is worth less than the cost of getting that's how

expenses

if any of you were thinking about trying to put together a plan

and i had a business plan idea or even a

and asst

uh... about increasing local food supply but sustainability

that's removals it's taking

the thirty percent of food is pretty some local farms whether this year or in

armstrong

and conversion around vancouver island

and processing getting more water on it but putting it in jars and cans

market bc grown local level

and then you've got something people could be around

the market

there's huge there's some really great examples i'm just too

all lines of pakistan

uh... organic jams jellies seeps its ever in ontario one's a private company

called winter it's on the other ones are cooperative

and they're using up all the cult what's called production all the broken carrots

and potatoes and slash months in them and uh...

apples of bird calls all the stuff that normally goes over the fence to the kind

war

worry media

ten cents a pound for from its use

christian company

instead were pretty smoothly the product and it's local

on the other with the press corps columbia gorge uh...

does anyone german from portland east of the columbia river valley

number skidded timberline

your own complex

your pumpkin and black faces are obviously not

parlance it's ourselves major city in northern part oregon

three hours in this uh... big volcano with a ski recall timberline not good

a really lovely little growing area there

uh... called clinton-gore chin is about five hundred farms

and the quite isolated it's a

it's a beautiful place to go

the surfrider sixty acre organic orchard

and this one either orchards that all packed together

all the apples that are really did they put in boxes in the ship all over the

place

and then anything that isn't as good thing a couple saucepan ph

um... copy just like you would buy in the grocery store

canned cherries

pear slices is finally coming to the fifth one

so that's a doesn't now on market

that they've established

natura food stores all across washington oregon

where you see the label on the freedom of the sea label mint intense tell all

that stuff is it still isn't good enough

slogans preston the jews similar columbia gorge juice so

wherever you would see how the twenty-something tour

important to see how it would be seen columbia gorge juice

even bring in mango and banana curator

made a huge wide range everything that's left

goes out a literally overshoot out the back of the of the pack and ship

and it goes by

difficult by front-end loader and they made

an incredible amount of compost which goes back on all purchases a complete

closed groups like ours

the the epitome of sustainability

the using every bit of food they're pretty year-round jobs

and uh...

and that's the that's actually the growth area in the local sustainable

movement

we can actually grow

much more

here because of all the economic factors

and also by the

but what we can do is find a business model

to make our all our own stuff the stuff that's in the middle house and the

grocery store

how much time going up and go on forever and

twelve minutes did you want to talk about this

uh... s

practically doctor trip

i've done thirty day trips to latin american for years

and we work with

pico optus

and told someone

and sixty four hundred small growers

and on every trip i meet a new group of girls

there was one of them was on the slide show

impoverished people getting ripped off its than it's the mall

and living in conditions that are

usually pretty awful they may not consider them all focus in germany where

comparison

i'm great areas where people don't know mccarthy

your kids don't have shoes

but nobody else in town does either so they actually are grilling

pissed off

above the guy down the street just a simple has to be in coastal cowboy

regions

because nobody does

so actually really happy either humble

no insurance

customs go home after work

and the president's and they'll have huge families unhappy travelers

that's our entertainment

having twelve kids is just great fun

so it said it means a different

ways of thinking and being and i think that's

over so much for the world

that these people really have

when im but when i'm traveling around i think people with me and i

about six months ago

chilled june or july took my cousin

who just spent working

forty years

she's retiring as i took her she spent forty years working both of the

department of indian affairs and working was uh... persistent social director for

the citibank you're many in the downtown side

basically spent her whole life as part of the system

supporting first nations people

in culture of

welfare handouts

uh... probably run government programs protest on odd ideas

and

she talked to me after we got back and she said

because i told me to have to finish that i did but but you know when i look at

this

we treat our first nations people worse

and with regard to the ground

said i've been in indian reserves in northern bc where there is no education

where this

where it's just like it is there any working for a living in a really lousy

conditions for the difference that there is

is thirty below and they don't have a toyota housing up to bill crockett

ravine behind the house

where improvements

lovely involvement should decisions just as bad

so let's look at another interesting on we're starting to focus more and more

in north america

on uh...

on the same issues of fair trade has brought up

farm labor

there's there's now a move in nine states agriculture justice project

domestic for trade association for trigger source that work

that are focusing on

not helping to coffee growers and and spice girls in sri lanka ravana gross

improve

but how we treat immigrant mexican permanent philippine

uh... labor all across north america and

i'm gonna give you another example that's how we treat

her work force the fraser valley which is

it's just office worse than so many places in and muscle from her

so there's a there's now going to be a movement you can see this we're

you know we're just looking

no sweat clothing we're gonna run into

more and more people who want to label

fair trade for domestic labour

there's already a local certification body called local food plus and to get

certified

in their system you have to prove your labor practices

you have no idea how we treat our punjabi work for just twenty thousand

people work in the freezer valiant deplorable conditions

unsafe conditions unsafe transportation

and then we have immigrant workers who come in and they're treated terribly as

well

and he's one of these fences el salvadoran they have a

the catholic church they're mostly el salvador mister

regularly tesoro sinister

and they came to us and said look this whole bunch of salvadorans working on a

blueberry farm feldman maps to carry their seven miles from the store

and the people who the stain in but these portable

stumbling

you know portable trailers

but they have no whereby through

because it's like seven or eight miles walk to the nearest store near

abbotsford

so they asked the first offered to me bicycles to them so they could ride a

bike to the store and buy food otherwise i guess we want leaders

this is here

welcome to canada

this is where fairtrade sculley right back in here and that is uh... we have

i'm stopper second

for weeks ago i was prime visiting the mccutchen indians and uh... troll troll

which isn't far southern chile

before kennedy actually gone from a volcano from

interrupted six months ago

and i drove around and i looked at thirty seven different people's houses

all armand hall on a reservation

the same

pardon my english but should box housing that we are providing two nd to the

people on all our reserves to western captain

terrible look terrible living additions infrequent water no sanitary

no school

uh... four-wheel-drive roads

and soon be handed over money welfare it they've been handed a housing welfare

they've had nothing to look forward to know

no self-determination

so the government decided we're going to show how the rafters so they can to the

mall of thousands arouse reponse

and these people

done on a ground non-agricultural gdp oriented they live in the forecast on

highlands twenty degrees slopes and the impact of the forest and planted rosanne

rosanne rosen prospers

in this beautiful ritual cancel

no water

not knowing what they're doing

and and then

and than they had a meeting with him he said

would you invest money with us tonight

good program part two

you have no way i did not

food safety stands for harvesting

you don't have a cooling and refrigeration and electricity you have

any place to take the various

you can export them

they're not you won't even get into marketing time different to freeze on

the only way space you know so i want to lose each other

and the berries

either side 'cause there's no water there's little tiny bridal barry som

and i just want heartbroken

and i guess but i looked around i thought

i could just as easily because i was out for sales

and be named dawn creek or

adams lake or some other

of

reservations and sent from the sea

same growing conditions sane people saying

political process

dots that's where we're going to take fairtrade except that's mime-version

anyhow and if you're writing a business plans and that's

or we're looking at how we can add how we can combine local

economic sustainable

environmental food justice fair labor all those things we've talked about just

in the last hour

into one

it's unfolding first nations to make their own decision without government

intervention

to grow produced package process

food the gross on their land their lands free their way ahead of everybody else

they paid for the land of blood don't get me wrong but

they have the land of how the water

and they have the capability of growing wild harvesting

so i'm giving you the best new thing of the day right here as if you want to

make a change in the world it's too

work for the first nations group of local band office

two words

producing my talking the pics ko parents talking let's fill them all

to actually be able to produce something that they grow they picked a harvest

with its canned salmon her sam and area sir

saskatoon berries or

potatoes whatever it is

and build a model that represents all these different factions

uh... if you're going for like if you're going to market directly to the consumer

that's fine and you can extend your season what

cold frames and closures and things like that and then you can get that product

that and you're getting the full ballot the full retail dollar for that

and apply a in our company like proctor read

no i cant phone anybody in bc and and bright a full power a plot forty two

boxes of ko with twenty four by mta sandbox they're all play within twenty

four hours

you know twist my summit market but not

that wholesale level

is really important the people who were growing for marketing directly to

consumers are really important because what they're doing it

they're really facing consumers and saying

now i want reebok's with us

street impact is sixty nine cents imported in a grocery store

but i'm convinced i did hear this money's gonna stay home this is totally

hundred-percent benefit to our society here i walked remarks

and they're looking back at the end of thinking

i give you three box

but at the wholesale level

it's about cheat

so for us to be doing fairtrade stuffed with our business

is talking to swimming upstream it's a huge pain in the back

it's really difficult to do

it's arguing with other wholesalers about why we're paying more for staff

and how can we talk about that stuff when they didn't

uh... my husband i run a district a distribution warehouse so talk tough

thousand square feet of coolers

and we have to be fighting please and me

pallet loads of produced we bring in truckloads of praise and container loads

by sea

up banana banana nego we try to bring in icy

we bring in truckloads of content of produce from at this point kind of the

year california mexico

better apples coming from

the interior and anything else we reprocess kenya

we build orders in our warehouse

and we ship them out to stores all over western canada

uh... and in addition to that prereqs worked with uh... banana growers and

northern peru we also sell fairtrade bananas by patsy container load

they they go from peru by water and oakland that's all it's a really great

picture for the carbon footprint way better to go that way uh... and that way

they these folks in oakland came and promote their credence to their

community

so thats

we're not doing retail work

but we supply the retailers and home deliveries and in the north

big groups of growers get together and by you know two cases of apples and four

cases of potatoes or whatever it is they can

and shit smile

we have to have fair trade rate now we have to have fair trade because

the people who grow food for us that we can't grow for ourselves either because

uh... what it is tropical us

or because of our short season

i think they should say

i we work also with local growers to try and extend our local seasons and storage

cost as much as we can every year always pushing time push that badly so we have

more selective use more storage parsons and the things that we can have here so

those likelihood stay home

but we have to have their trade right now because the people who grow our food

all the rest of the time

like a fire aboard world's economy is for them

over eighty five percent of agricultural workers in the world are women of color

and unscrewed

their really really desperately and we can stop that

justly we

like we've been able to do a lot

individual people can do a lot by just talking about it talking about are the

people that you buy food from insane

you know where does this come from

do you know anything about

we're in the growers and how much they're getting paid on fair trade

system

default network on and off

if people use the workers rare

is for trade

if you said it's fair if you see

fairly treated

there's descended down to

that person making the decision

without being audited

frustration with whole foods they have

if it's fair trade it has a whole trade stick around that's their brand

but the only as that but i don't want to certified by fall

her but you know solving fairtrade label organization in most instances market

ecology and

degrade the fair washington sees when companies

talked under such importance at the right now about misconduct importance

borrowed for drifting through the caulking to plug beans and

is and they're talking something but the monster

uh... some of those organizations will get a separate private certification

this basically means

people on the ground

holding the potatoes or the ribs being the carton or there

topping the reverend making insoles

for shoes they don't sell dot staff they don't know how to do that these are

people who do what they do because they went to university i wanna make running

shoes from the and

these are people who are doing that because dad and mom did because granddad

and grandma and under education has come

dot they probably didn't go to school most needed

is two billion people

tilling the soil growing things for the other frightens its

execute the central's population

so they sell stuff to what we call coyotes

and those are people who are smart

have money in the hand of the country

mobile by those outcomes for ten cents each nego over it's great

and then those people

exporter mark make huge markups and by sea container to a shocking importer in

north america goes a little

uh... so good prices chemical forty five percent markup on those in the importer

goes to trade shows and sell support the wholesalers who then sell to retailers

who then send it to you

and in between the growers gunfire since now account when you are paying a dollar

nineteen ninety-four foods

somebody's making a lot of money in between and actually in the retailer

certainly isn't former hits all those levels

that's a fair trade was set up to do was to cut out all those middlemen

it's its direct trade i don't approve high by the nest i sell them to the

retail stores

heidelberg

true and i buy mangoes and have accounts and go to mexico migrate for it

and important after where we are a fair trade licensed importer

and then we saw three tiles we've kind of

the entire process in vancouver in fact in canada and most nurses who buys all

the photos from brokers

they don't want to wholefoods

doesn't go by

grapes and chill

they refuse to because of there's a problem hope this doesn't wonderful not

coz i didn't say there's a problem with the grapes

they buy them from a broker

the broker phone support possesses

you kristen arrive well we're not paying you and your six thousand dollars for

the free which happens all too often

the the big difference of fair trade

and this is the primary difference

a lot of the products are bought and sold the world

you the person who's

producing and doesn't even know how much did it get paid for mental monies in the

best in the cash instruments at least some

have no idea

even our local support local growers

send if you do awesome through the system i don't know for sure how much

are you paid for until we've sold and paid them for

in the u_s_ is along with the grower actually

controls the pros

uh... and told him being paid for it

but nobody all people in between don't actually have any

ownership

when when produce goes from former california toss

we'll get an invoice for we get some things called the passing of simply

past the food to us to sell on their best to help them get the best return

that's the way the world economy works as a call the liquidation

and at the end happily sold everything we told the grower this is what you're

getting

and this is the way huge companies get way with big ears they give god

liquidations rip-off farmers are your free was crap and give you two dollars a

box

willis on different team

but a bunch of

growers not stupid people don't know market intelligence who've never got

paid more than two fifty a case

worthing

they don't have shoes or money for gas how do you have a computer and schachter

records online or computer and and figured out

is referred to it sets the bar

we have to go and actually in writing

take proper take full ownership about twenty minutes on the boat

we have to guarantee the growers they can get a price we work out with him to

make sure they're going to make money on it

and then we'll be bringing to the country what we know we're likely going

to sell

when the general protesters in supplier may go to a forms i consult

and he's got a nice evening came to show for a car and he's got a nice website

business cards and the growers cope

okay

and she can still contract out things fixed

he brings in all the pineapple

doesn't sell it goes back to growers and says

consultant

growth and getting mining lawsuits no contract is no deal is just they just

passed a for the long hoping someone will sell

that's in every fair trade marketing everybody was coffee or tea or whatever

it's a grower dispute a problem price

plus a social conflict b

and then he owns his own process importers to make sure that we don't go

crazy in bringing too much

because if we do

where the people to get home integral

i'll give you a quick background

or about uh... shep thirty five years on the scene with a chef a talk like a chef

and very directory on its very transparent you'll see to it is

presentation i don't have

a power point because of what we're building that's warped

for two when i worked on what is in their own

being made so what i have is that what you do the visual for me

uh... and i did you at the chess perspective

where first because hoping with this gentleman this lady's for how i make it

work

how wisely chef

make the bottom line

bring it to you

and make a healthy

uh... thirty five years experience fifteen he reviewed bc

uh... many here been debated and aired

period

is that ok

you can always say no but if they don't get the names who didn't do it right for

you

figure that out

i'm also a red seal certified check which means that it work all its et

cetera denigrated central doesn't mean it any better

just the habitat will

uh...

is that a number of course from the anthony came in third world can promote

the friendly operation

here to repeat the real world day for what they did terry friendly operation

and care

reason why we get details because to the university's means in the past year

they have their own vegetarian vegan

establishment

which we now have a look at it

at this year's exit forrest

interactive research center billy civil work progress without holy

work i would be

but they're getting there

uh...

with that in mind

i got voted one health here on campus

because i

talk to talk to walk the walk

so i'm gonna give it back

uh... on the side

i'm also a member

think unique reno you've heard about the kitty green at school

this is a five-year project funded by ottawa not by you bc

run by number professors atlanta systems department that i work with

and i'm on the advisory board and co investigator

fact concept is to prove the food

in the city of vancouver's

k_-twelve and high schools

tropical colour

dropped the crap in bringing fresh local parties

two top job

because there's budget there's restraints

the people who cook and some of these places

work for the picture came out for the past

which any good person will tell you work for passion

you're better off if you work for a paycheck you'll never have enough money

i've always wanted better portion better

i pat pipeline review what college

it's at repression

you sleep better tonight

i'm also a chef instructor

and board member of sprouting chess

that is where we take young kids eight

was the last review have been yours all updated

and we've taken shopping

not the seven-eleven not to save paper to the forms

so you know where the food actually comes from

and then we teach them how close

healthy

with local fresh products at such-and-such a

u_p_c_ food service where work towards a self funded operation

we are not in bed with companies perceptual etcetera

we do it for what is will be five said which now as a model

we do the right thing

so we are living laboratory

we are a global leader

and uh... we said in the past few years wilbur teaching medicine

and uh...

athletics

it's actually pretty sharply

how come we're not telling them what the stories

so because of this now

that's why i'm doing more talking it seems

uh... advani

the report and

business card that i have arrived actually or get back to you later on

we do not use the word cafeteria

i despise that were cafeteria

cafeteria to be means

back to you

blue haired lady

eighty years old

works for a paycheck

not someone is using fresh local food

that has the skills to use a knife

and not a pair of scissors

to open up that package

throwing the other take ten a coffee break

check to sell may come back and put it on the line

and it's it's there for ten days

at our place of any dining hall we have seven food stations

fresh produce

salad bar

uh... we do the walk looking to order

uh... we have uh... carving station onwards

of fighting story of my first came to fifteen years ago

i don't know how many we date for dinner i do right when you have aids for dinner

i ask how often will serve eight after two o'clock

but there was quite nice kids

kids kids don't like that

michael really

very interesting for the cook doesn't like to put the exact at two o'clock

he's now working for us if you would leave

i actually was i i i am

i don't like you can see how ever be with desire actually was approached much

to the shipment of my directors foodservice

became to see that it will be open seven years ago

s if you

and when they came

they took pictures were totally honest transparently short of what we do

and in a bar happier there they ask you to talk to come up for an interview

so i said sure was wasted with the other fences life-threatening side effects

i went out there in the first thing he did it the eight

the trick

g_m_ recipes made for me

indecent words hold on for it

chef don't do anything

that's like telling

let's say michelangelo told us richest

sign your name

i don't know ideas i i'd make

and uh...

it would allow it to the salad bar as a hot enough to put a salad bar out there

on the spot palestinian dining

facilities

it's a cost issue to health issue

health issue

steve's car cost issue too cheap to be for the bottom line

what we do at ended last

year now it's come very proper people always ask where the seats we do make

two suits from campbell's

well we'll make it will be he'd water right

but used to that i make myself and now it's become very

popular dollars a block steve soup scoops

it is not promote me

because it's it's an acre mostly the given vegetarian

we do make seafood chowder with local sustainable

seafood etcetera

and with that i give the recipes

speaking of that as official first bbc food service is now totally or should

watch

now there has been some issues with that

because some suppliers have been warned wave that's

have dropped the ball

so the best way to tell these people he dropped the ball is that you're not

getting any business

money talks

soul they're not trying to get a box of kleenex and stay

you had to use your stuff

my card color card to bbc food servers the back of the cards this five sets of

vision and values

warlord anybody about it free

now as a friend forrester fully ocean waters

for put that you're also organic prices

offer daily where we are

purchase from you bc for

about the story

you bc farm

i was giving a talk uh... allen best weapon systems to

by directors requiring a privacy issue

a lot of people hated and i was with the four directors three directors project

director at such-and-such a

and about two hundred to our students are saying

is to get question is how come you don't use you bc farmers with seven years ago

six years ago

and i said

you tell me

and then someone says logistical problem submission

just boats etc et-cetera

makes it really

you bc farm steve

can we set up the system

salem's

old make a phone call

now they see a big always have those products

that's why

has shepherded chef

is what i was talking about the young boy

a quick check is flexible

adaptable improvised

overcome

and that will go with any business

if i can get fifty pounds of heirloom carrots were swiss chard kale

i adapted overcoming improvise

that's what you should do any business

we are on the permission of fair trade the gentleman did a great job as at the

lady before them

but what i will mention if i have all this information here

when we do these talks

there's always that word which i hate is fat attracted to train i hate that word

trend

and i have a survey from two thousand twelve national restaurant association

now this is from the states

canadian chefs are right on board with this

top twenty trends

locally sourced meat seafood

wallpaper or products helpful kitts-nevis

sustainability

sustainable seafood

pharma state-mandated mediates

locally grown products organic price

every time you get a chance conference

it's always about sustainability local inspiration making the food healthy

at one meeting one conference in boston with maturity tee shots a lot from the

states

and when gentleman who would work thirty eight years as the pastry chef

at the white house

role in my state

amazing uh...

very old school

journey like me

he said it the way it was said and he says it was all of us there and i know i

mean you know all get fat

and he says who's the number one shipped in north america

who's the passion for north america

someone said

wolfgang puck bobby flay you heard these names

rachel rates actually goes no it chef cisco

you know who cisco ios

it's a local distributor

north america

defy all your frozen ready-made foods

join you guys get lazy just taken scissors opal two plastic bags

lowenstein table and walk away half asleep

so you guys are all getting lazy

get back to the basics but grandma grabbed at book

it make it the right way

you bc pharma proud to say that since that discussion with the cell phone

this year alone and danny we raise our purchases from a_b_c_ farm by seventy

three percent

that means if you come to my place

give any ko

swiss chard

celery root

whatever you can get and they'll say well how can we do that

first let me tell you the custer based what we do food literacy is so important

when you get these young students and they don't know what colorado

or what swiss chard is a very good to know yeah

so there's always a way to get around that but i do is

i came to thank you both thirty percent of the so-called unknown foods of the

yuppie food

and then mixed in with the seven percent in don't think so

we all like to commit lawsuits

so few vegetarian

so when that chicken noodle soup you'll be getting squash

swiss chard kale

every likes potatoes

so with the report eight oz red skin or

we will throw in federal

we make our own rose marie all from fresh rosemary from afar

ample throwing swiss chard or will throw in spinach etcetera etcetera

and they will walk around to the students

which fifteen years ago that was unheard of is a cellular throw food etc

is gonna be approved by the year the chef cooking here so hold on whose fault

is that

student folders of the fault of you guys

you guys who wants to be promoting

people calling or something i think i said devil's island

which he is it the right

and get the right training in the right equipment

and do it the proper way

so as i send you come to me you be getting healthy food

and if it's local fresh look at it and we can afford to meet the bottom line we

can't

and i can tell you right on t_v_ our bottom line is helping

otherwise i wouldn't be here

i'd be out and so what you bc foodservice anyway to get the compass

group to set axles who care about those two dollars they could say

but hoping that by buying a pair of scissors

in opening up that plastic bag

units etc et-cetera

what we do is

bai marketing incited rina signs up

and we do a lot of

demos i do a lot with the lady was here earlier rebecca we do a lot of cooking

demos that you bc for

sold showboat titanate

since i was institutes etc et-cetera

and from that

you'll learn how to make it really easy if it you know what

people say we reject you know how to cook

moon not really

when i first was that the other guy cooking on which is doing is open to the

hotel manager intelligence what to do

i thought i was easy

by just had a natural talent they told me

and they said i had a big mouth and i want to tell people what to do believe

that was seventeen years old and kitchens in toronto

but you don't know anything

theory telling people what to do

i go on a beach that we are not afraid to talk and tell you what the facts of

life are

when it's related to what i do

soul what we do is that these demos i teach them how to cook

now at gage towers

what idea what most is for sticking your students so when you go to gage towers

kitchen facilities in your rooms

they're down in the process it's almost done i'm involved

they're doing a kitchen demo

work they want me to teach you

hypo

but we're not going to make tough lengthy we're not going to make beef

wellington you're gonna be making stuff that we get food boxes and its answer

from local suppliers

they say you bc format sectional teach you how to make

something that i was stunned when you make one thing from mac to branch out of

five

so by making this a abhi soon or see okay

i'm making a chaos to with uh... white beans

basil

onion celery carrot blah blah blah

unknowable

now you have that

what i would do the next day which chilled proper

accurate

i get a white bean vegetable

buying the right spices and that's why would put one set of mayonnaise

with yours units leaves

and media

cheese or what happened

i failed to mention

that we highly recommend it highly supporting very proud of you deal with

discover your guess

as a share

even though i'm trained a good chef

works with the proper equipment

and the best ingredients that you have the best thing rejoicing organized

people person they lost

and he's a rights uh... utensils pansat sent to the right people

any of the best ingredients he cannot be a chef

i'm not somebody's poppy chefs you know they have all the colors with the

all this crap and you know they walk around right

no no you have the best agreed you can make it work

soul as for the first sustainability and for the bottom line to make a business

make this work

and makes the expensive

with the cheat

okay so i can afford the extra

cost

policy organics etcetera

when we were collected systems apartment

indices department dietetics and health and wellness is such a

it was shown to us

they should do this example we're buying apples

little couples whatever right

they someone use organic

from the stormy organics

could cost more then have to call mom and dad are they have to call the bank

increase i think well

didn't cost much more

and the best part is from the six cases of apples i would buy a week

i'm up to twelve to fourteen

from their from their apples that they get from them

and will bring in a fair trade bananas twice a week

cut away but the carbon footprint

i gotta worry about the business aspect because i can have

anne britney

three cases four cases of the ban on monday

and that's the only or as i could do movies twice a week

thirties isn't thursdays

we have to watch the carbon footprint

by the way for defeat the whole purpose of doing the right thing

and we don't seize it's too good for me to buy certain things without a seasoned

i'll bring a lot of fresh

blueberries from the organizing in august

mass amount never wash them

make sure they're safe in their will freeze unusable for the year

we lobbied very hard

are purchasing director james dickey wakefield

to get the suppliers on board

source local sustainable products

because you bcs a pick-up

might talk to the big purchasing power we can get more things done in the small

dot

we working collaboration i said with all the students in departments they give us

the ideas

i learned as much for a new as maybe you learned for me

anybody who says we see but he says he does everything is combination reform

wire

there's so much to learn

fifty four

elevator shaft now but it was many many years ago

opening up my mind ripping open an envelope and pushing it

and getting it out there

through marketing of telling the story to the demos we've done a uh... number

cookbooks through the deceased apartment

formed to fork

that we did

and we would make healthy items and then that's gonna be in a hard copy berg

recieved

in the industry did it it's known to say that you were brought up that way

has a chef once you lose that customer

your work to three four times part again

you've lost

so the trick is

good way to do it right is to get them right away off the bat make them happy

proved to them that you're right

and do consists lee

not the seagull uh... what's the word seagull level

we have a good friend of ours he was a consultant

exige ever heard of seagull

uh... singer with a seagull

and i don't think ever heard the words he got his wobbles consultants and hope

and i think it'd be upset

it

a seagull effect is

consultant

phil connelly mica segal

fly over your operation

and then take off

was my program

we had a consultant company may be many years ago i was working in the kitchen

and he was getting paid fifty grand or whatever they get paid

he's just so we think i should do

but we think you should do

you get here

at two fifty grant

and i'll work perhaps

you're asking me that's your job

but that's a seagull packages coming fly our choir on children take off

i have no and then in our industry to those say

someone's a consultant what generalized

because they can get a job in the room

workforce of more

uh... watergate trouble but

you know what it is what is it just come to canada really drop

they say well

there were two hours a day i get weekends off whatever

and then i'm gonna tell you what to do

give me my money take up to come down

to check out a little follow-up iti duty one of the contract

i would like to say that you know people say it's very expensive organic food

local fresh

et cetera cost more money

the labor aspect

and when i first brought in some fresh actually i think it was from you i've

got some new stuff in

i forget what i was with free for the four five years ago misimpression member

and uh... michael's book to be disarray

and i know what's up

will distances and watched

this stuff

if he has to be cut

the peel still

might want to much sorry

by negativity said

idle we basically giving we think this up during the chest uniform you know

they put on

we have not support for you

he forgot appeal

you know you will not give reduces errors in the plastic bag to open up

you get back to reality

and you start using it

who did what it was safe

uh... five different things five pounds each

next day he brought in some more rather die

supplier

and they said buddy bryan five pounds on his plate downright sometimes the best

way to motivate them to me if you really

they put out there anyway

soul what i do is i go

wamegan five pounds

pocket more shit get more y

distance pretty good

it holds better in the steam table when i serve at mister fried

he holds in the color holes

and it's it takes a lot better getting a lot going a lot of compliments

now that guys no longer working for the paycheck is working for the passion

working for that

weeds getting from the from the customer base

which is faculty and students and staff

when my thirty percent my food these come from other out hopeless

they come to be which is fine

martha piper the ex-president comes and this is how i do it in the city chaff

the food was excellent legal talking to the wrong time billy premier

the lady was a time which is a president something of a walkway

he made would not be walk away

next to you know i come back in the sink

we feel good

never lose only keep pushing

uh...

what is interesting excuse me

what is interesting is is that

the last few years

i getting a lot of tourist from paris

with their students

potential students

and i go i'm ok so what's up

or just want to see what's going on forty fifty sentenced twenty ten people

coming in

and i thought sold

justice so resentful

uh...

slowly unical silicate

an apparent and appears restive which include lecture

rachael

what you mean by that

and they said isn't local is a fresh is organic

are you getting up getting enough apples at low price and bring it in seven

different types of apples are pretty fair trade bananas

i'm bringing everything in all you don't have uh... what it was strawberries

astronomers

it's pretty accurate

u_s_ for everybody that piece of cardboard

you got to go in season all locations sorry

they said elected needs this isn't what the vegetables here

roast potatoes with fennel

or rewarding fed believes that he defended the chinese etiquette guarantee

it one way or the other helix pizza yet he likes whole wheat no connect multi

greenville

what he wants pizza that's me today

do it this way packages may be

soul with that now we're getting the athletic department

or yet without so apparent it told me last for five years

that what makes for the major decisions for students

potential still to come to universities what's the food

words coming from

are you doing it

many years ago

thirty years ago

uh... whereas a chef you bringing something

and the first interstate's how much is going to cost

what's it tastes like

when we get back pocket

because the conducts whenever

we don't do that by the way stevens but we don't do that

improve it

now what it is now

words coming from

was carbon footprint

is it fair trade

where check you out

some of the suppliers online community

they just want to get the boxing matches

jumping on the bandwagon which we found out that these two awesome not they're

the best
