UC Davis has an ambitious sustainable food purchasing goal – <em>By 2030 25% of Davis campus and 30% of Health campus food service spending must be for sustainable food products</em>. SAF Fellows will make this goal possible by systematically assessing our food systems databases to identify ways to speed up progress towards this goal and make sure we’re accurately assessing the sustainability of our current purchases. <br><span>This is a new position to SHDS; the challenges will include defining the scope, and processes of evaluating sustainable purchases and the fellow in this position will be highly involved in creating the standard operation procedures and developing and documenting the Knowledge Base for this position. </span></p><p><span>A successful fellowship outcome would be that SHDS has accurately identified the sustainable attributes of all current and future food procurement. This will allow the UC Davis SHDS to accurately identify and report their progress towards the 25% sustainable spend goal. Once this critical step has been established, this work will allow current or future Fellows to implement projects in other relevant areas of sustainability.</span></p></li></ul><h3><strong>To apply:</strong></h3><ol><li><div><p><span lang="EN">Apply to Handshake <strong>Job </strong></span><span><strong>#9187311</strong></span></p></div></li><li><div><p><span lang="EN">Include in your application each of the following documents.
