Food Issues Committee

In a values-based organization, it is important to understand the economic, environmental and social impacts of the products we purchase and how they compare to our common values. The Food Issues Committee is responsible for ensuring that the values expressed in Karma's product policy are reflected in the store. To do this, the Committee is in the process of developing an implementation guide, a decision making process that is fair to all, works for the benefit of the whole and enables us to remain a financially viable entity.

If you are interested in contributing to the work of the Committee, please fill out the committee membership application [600 kb] and drop off at the store.
