One crop – coffee – is the second most valuable commodity in world trade after oil.
Food production accounts for 34% of water use in the U.S. and about 40% globally.
Food production accounts for more than 10% of energy use in the U.S. and 10-15% globally.

"I was just reading an article in the New York Times by Michael Pollan about food and the fact that our entire agricultural system is built on cheap oil. As a consequence, our agriculture sector actually is contributing more greenhouse gases than our transportation sector. And in the mean time, it's creating monocultures that are vulnerable to national security threats, are now vulnerable to sky-high food prices or crashes in food prices, huge swings in commodity prices, and are partly responsible for the explosion in our healthcare costs because they're contributing to type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease, obesity, all the things that are driving our huge explosion in healthcare costs.
That's just one sector of the economy. You think about the same thing is true on transportation. The same thing is true on how we construct our buildings. The same is true across the board.
For us to say we are just going to completely revamp how we use energy in a way that deals with climate change, deals with national security and drives our economy, that's going to be my number one priority when I get into office, assuming, obviously, that we have done enough to just stabilize the immediate economic situation."

The opportunity for Sodexo to help clients achieve their sustainability goals is great.
The amount and complexity of the information related to sustainability is significant.
Sustainability is not about our clients telling us to buy a certain apple or faucet, it is about obtaining permission from our clients to serve as their experts and to make decisions for them to achieve their goals. This means promoting:
● Awareness that our choices are not isolated
● Making choices for the long term
● Improving entire systems, not single parts of systems
● Informed selections
● Measurable performance
● Our reputation as experts and leaders
