The Hobart Center for Foodservice Sustainability has established a $5,000 grant to honor the individual or company submitting a sustainability case study judged as the most innovative and best-executed foodservice sustainability project of the year. The recipient receives a cash award of $5,000 to invest in additional sustainability measures, and will be invited to become a Fellow of the HCFS and help select future operations for grant recognition.
The 2012 HCFS grant recipient is Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden. Download the case study to see how Phipps achieved their sustainability goals by eliminating disposables and incorporating local organic ingredients into their menu.
