Tribeca Oven’s sustainability efforts are centered around wheat flour, the highest-volume ingredient in our operation. Historically, large scale agriculture has been a stressor to the environment, though many modern farmers have been adopting new techniques and regenerative practices to help repair and restore their land.
We invest in farmers who are on the cutting edge of these practices through our involvement in the North Dakota Wheat Program. This initiative reduces our environmental impact by supporting wheat farmers who use advanced regenerative agriculture practices and put systems in place to measure and track their results.
Increased Support
In the past year, we’ve increased our support of this program from representing 33% of our flour purchases to 66%, doubling our investment. That means that now two-thirds of the flour Tribeca Oven purchases for our artisan breads supports sustainable agriculture and farm level environmental improvements. Through our investment, we are seeing improvements in our program such as reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that represent a savings of one railcar of coal from being burned each year.
