Book Description
This report is part of a multi-volume technical report series entitled, Running a Food Hub, with this guide serving as a companion piece to other United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports by providing in-depth guidance on starting and running a food hub enterprise. In order to compile the most current information on best management and operations practices, the authors used published information on food hubs, surveyed numerous operating food hubs, and pulled from their existing experience and knowledge of working directly with food hubs across the country as an agricultural business consulting firm. The report’s main focus is on the operational issues faced by food hubs, including choosing an organizational structure, choosing a location, deciding on infrastructure and equipment, logistics and transportation, human resources, and risks. As such, the guide explores the different decision points associated with the organizational steps for starting and implementing a food hub. For some sections, sidebars provide “decision points,” which food hub managers will need to address to make key operational decisions. This illustrated guide may assist the operational staff at small businesses or third-party organizations that may provide aggregation, marketing, and distribution services from local and regional producers to assist with wholesale, retail, and institution demand at government institutions, colleges/universities, restaurants, grocery store chains, etc. Undergraduate students pursuing coursework for a bachelor of science degree in food science, or agricultural economics may be interested in this guide. Additionally, this reference work will be helpful to small businesses within the food trade discipline.

Book Description
Excerpt from Food Storage Guide for Schools and Institutions: November 1959; Pa-403 This handbook has been prepared as a guide for schools and institutions, to show good methods of handling and storing usda-donated and locally purchased foods. The information was drawn from many sources and includes latest research data available on types of storage facilities and equipment needed for handling and storing foods. It is recognized that not all schools and institutions have the ideal types of storeroom facilities and handling equip ment. However, this should present a challenge and inspire constant attention to improving exist ing facilities and planning for adequate food storage facilities in the future. In using the guide, consider the geographic location of the storage facilities, giving particular attention to climatic conditions and other local situations prevailing in the area. The terms dry food storage or storeroom used in this handbook apply to any dry food storage facility maintained by schools and institutions where foods are received and stored until they are prepared and served. The term refrigerated food storage applies to both normal refrig cration and freezer or frozen food storage. Good storage facilities - both dry and refrigerated - help keep foods safe, wholesome, and appetizing. Meals taste better, and are better nutritionally, if all foods used to prepare them are at the peak of quality. Careful menu planning, good buying practices, and good storage all help to provide well-balanced meals at reasonable prices.
