Rave returns on the FMI's Sustainability Summit of last month. In an email from Jeanne vonZastrow this morning:

Dear Sustainability Summit Attendees,

Thank you for participating in Food Marketing Institute's first Sustainability Summit! There were 375 attendees in Minneapolis, and the final attendee list is attached. Highlights of the attendee survey include:

-Nearly all participants, 93 percent had a good or excellent Summit experience.
-Attendees rated speakers highly: 89 percent gave a rating of good or excellent.
-More than half of 2008 attendees already plan to attend the 2009 Sustainability Summit.

FMI and the Sustainability Task Force Members are currently working on developing a basic retail carbon calculator, and are also establishing "working groups" on specific issues like sustainable seafood, sustainable agriculture, water and packaging.
The next FMI Sustainability Summit will be June 15-17 in San Francisco. If you have ideas for program, speakers or industry tours please contact Jeanne vonZastrow at 435.259.3342 or jvonzastrow@fmi.org.
Sincerely,
Jeanne vonZastrow
