Bejo Seeds has pledged to serve and eat more fresh produce at company and industry events to demonstrate leadership in the effort to boost fruit and vegetable consumption. By joining the Eating by Example initiative from the Produce Marketing Association, Bejo Seeds expects to raise employee and industry awareness of the need to increase produce consumption.
The Eating by Example initiative, conceived by graduates of the PMA Foundation Emerging Leaders Program, is a fun, non-binding pledge to boost industry’s own produce consumption. It offers simple tips on how to add more fruit and vegetables to all eating occasions. It is relying on social media efforts by participants to drive engagement and demonstrate the impact of #EatingByExample in the workplace.
