“儿童食品篮（Kids’Food Basket）”公益组织的全新农场和配送中心在近日正式开放，该农场在开拓时也从安利纽崔莱丰富的农业经验中受益匪浅。
安利已经与“儿童食品篮”这家非盈利公益机构合作长达15年，这家公益机构位于密歇根州艾达，就在安利的全球总部旁边，致力于解决食品不安全和儿童营养问题。在每日为数千名儿童提供营养的工作中，这些有着纽崔莱认证有机农场资质的专家可谓功不可没。新设立的农场占地面积约为10英亩（约40468平方米），安利纽崔莱多年的农业经验也助力其农作物茁壮成长，同时也在无农药的情况下保持持续的高产。
“安利通过两个方便提供了独到的协助，”安利生产总监Brian Kraus表示，“首先是我们的致力于帮助人们获得更好生活的核心观点。这与‘儿童食物摇篮’的目标不谋而合。不仅如此，我们在全球范围内有着极为丰富的农场技术经验，事实上许多我们来自加利福尼亚和华盛顿州的人才和科学家也正在帮助该机构建立其农场产能。”
“儿童食物摇篮”机构首席执行官Bridget Clark Whitney认为她每天都能看到积极的成果，同时她也表示，“能有与纽崔莱有着这样的合作关系，并得到其专业知识的支持，同时秉承其运营哲学，实在是一件令人难以置信的事情。”
位于该农场附近地区的孩子们将有机会参观农场，并零距离地接触各种农务活动，了解这些健康可口的食物是从哪里而来的。该农场同样还将成为安利西密歇根地区员工的支援场所。在这些志愿者的努力下，该农场将每天产出超过8000份健康餐等量的作物，同时由“儿童食物篮”机构进行配送。这一目标还将在新总部和农场的帮助下继续提高。
Amway’s Nutrilite to Help Power Kids’Food Basket’s Farm
Kids’Food Basket recently opened a new farm and distribution center that will draw from Amway and Nutrilite’s rich farming history.
Amway has partnered with Kids’Food Basket,a nonprofit that address food insecurity and childhood nutrition near Amway’s world headquarters in Ada,Michigan,for more than 15 years.The experts behind Nutrilite’s certified organic farms play a pivotal role in providing nutritious meals to thousands of children every day.The new roughly 10-acre farm will draw from Nutrilite’s farming history to help grow healthy,chemical-free and sustainable produce with maximum yields.
“Amway is uniquely positioned to help in two ways,”says Amway Vice President of Manufacturing Brian Kraus.“One is our core vision.Our core vision is about helping people live better lives.That’s exactly what Kids’Food Basket is all about.In addition to that,we have tremendous expertise in farming all around the world.In fact,a lot of our talent and scientists from California and Washington state have worked on this site to help Kid’s Food Basket build its capabilities.”
Kids’Food Basket CEO Bridget Clark Whitney says she sees the positive results every day.“It’s been incredible to have this partnership and this expertise,and the philosophies that come from Nutrilite to be put to use for children right on the farm right in west Michigan right in the middle of the city.”
Many of the children in the area will have the opportunity to visit the farm and get their hands dirty(literally)learning about where healthy and delicious food comes from.The farm is also a place where all of Amway’s West-Michigan employees will be able to volunteer.It takes several hundred volunteers to produce the more than 8,000 healthy“sack suppers”distributed by Kids’Food Basket each day.The goal is to grow that number with the help of the new headquarters and farm.
