Care-organization food procurement from a regenerative farm: settled-provenance sourcing, procurement labor only — Los Angeles County.

An audit of one public hospital's own food spend found 55% of its 'Australian' food budget had unknown regional origin because suppliers could not or would not provide the data (Faulkner 2022, Front Nutr) — hospital food provenance is routinely untraceable, not routinely verified. A Los Angeles County hospital, care home or community kitchen can source instead from a farm whose own regenerative practice already has a SETTLED soil, water or canopy packet on this board, making the meal's provenance a verified record instead of a claim.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

the source farm's own settled ecological packet cited by ID (soil_health / watershed_health / drinking_water_safety / urban_canopy, status SETTLED, not merely posted) + the ecological library's own michelin_ingredient_provenance proof (sourcing spec approved by the receiving kitchen, source-verification photos, time/temperature custody log with GPS, receiving kitchen's signed acceptance) + this packet's own procurement-labor log (hours, vetting steps, paperwork) + the farm's own packet price and this packet's own labor price logged as TWO separate amounts, never combined + red flags recorded absent or routed

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• the source farm's own settled ecological work-packet ID and its SETTLED status confirmed (soil_health, watershed_health/drinking_water_safety, or urban_canopy) — checked BEFORE any sourcing begins
• a sourcing spec approved by the receiving kitchen before pickup, matching the michelin_ingredient_provenance standard's own requirements
• a camera or phone for source-verification photos (producer, the actual lot, harvest/landing date, variety, practice) and a way to log GPS waypoints
• a time/temperature monitoring tool for the cold-chain custody log from pickup to delivery, and a procurement-labor log (hours, vetting steps, paperwork) kept separate from the farm's own settlement

Steps

1. 1. Identify the candidate farm or producer and confirm their own regenerative ecological work packet is SETTLED on this board (soil_health, watershed_health/drinking_water_safety, or urban_canopy) — not merely posted or claimed. If no settled packet exists, this sourcing cannot be called verified-provenance; route the farm to post and settle its own packet first, or source elsewhere.
2. 2. Get the receiving kitchen's sourcing spec approved before pickup (what, how much, when needed, any diet-order or allergen constraints already in place at the kitchen).
3. 3. Visit the farm, photograph the actual lot with its producer, harvest date, variety and growing practice, and record the GPS waypoint.
4. 4. Maintain the time/temperature custody log from pickup through delivery, with GPS waypoints source to kitchen.
5. 5. Deliver to the receiving kitchen and obtain their signed acceptance; log any grading or condition issue at receipt.
6. 6. Log this packet's own procurement-labor hours and steps separately from the farm's own settlement; route anything not the coordinator's own to handle per the decision rules.

What counts as done

• The source farm's own settled ecological packet ID cited (soil_health, watershed_health/drinking_water_safety, or urban_canopy) with its SETTLED status confirmed, not merely posted or claimed
• The ecological library's own michelin_ingredient_provenance proof completed: sourcing spec approved by the receiving kitchen, source-verification photos (producer, lot, harvest date, variety, practice), time/temperature custody log with GPS waypoints, and the receiving kitchen's signed acceptance
• This packet's own procurement-labor log (hours spent, vetting steps taken, paperwork completed), priced separately from and never combined with the farm's own settled-packet price
• Every decision-rule red flag recorded as absent or routed as the rule says

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
