Dining Services - Our Food

Sustainable Beverages

In 2012, Pomona College established a Fair Trade Resolution and became a Fair Trade University. 餐饮服务使用的所有咖啡都经过有机公平贸易认证. 这确保了这些产品是在不使用有害化学物质的情况下生产的,也确保了种植这些饮料的人得到体面的报酬和公平的待遇.

  • Coffee is provided by Peets Coffee. They offer coffee from verified sources, provide training and assistance to coffee farmers, and source coffees that carry USDA Organic, Fair Trade, and Rainforest Alliance certifications.
  • Fresh-brewed Yerba Mate by Guayaki is offered at all three dining halls.  Guayaki与小农和土著社区合作,从南美洲的亚热带森林中采购马尾,从长远来看,这对环境是可持续的.

我们目前使用的海产品是MSC(海洋管理委员会-可持续海产品认证), BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices), Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program, or IRF (Iceland Responsible Fisheries).  (点击每一项以获取更多来源渔场的信息):
