Toolbox

Here is our collection of case studies, reports, tools and methods, and other resources related to sustainability and food systems.  Many more will be added by October, 2008

Case Studies

A growing number of case studies describe the efforts of Food Lab members to assess and improve the social or environmental performance of specific supply chains. Some of the cases come from the Healthy Value Chains Network created by the Food Lab, WWF, and the Society for Organizational Learning.

Reports

A Food Lab learning history documents the questions we've asked, the issues we've focused on, and the strategies we've employed to change global food systems. Each chapter captures a stage in this journey of discovery and learning and features the words of the participants themselves as they experience the work and the challenges of the global food system. Reports and presentations from Food Lab meetings are also available here.

Tools & Methods

Brief descriptions of useful processes and practices, including the U Process used by the Food Lab.

Slides

A slide show that provides an overview of the Sustainable Food Lab is available for downloading, in both PowerPoint and Keynote.
