The Purpose of the Daily Bread Prize Program

The Our Daily Bread Prize is fundamentally an opportunity for civil society to develop True Cost Pricing and Accounting perspectives so we can understand the impacts of how every penny, nickel, dime, dollar, lira, quetzal, pound, franc, yen, and renminbi drives our economy. Once we are informed, we can shift our purchasing habits to ultimately create healthy food systems, regenerative economies and a sustainable world.

The design, development, implementation, and regulation of rigorous and comprehensive true cost pricing and accounting:

  • Considers all the impacts on people and place
  • Develops accounting practices that showcases an enterprise's success in incorporating all impacts and community benefits.

Like a compass directed towards true north, intuitive, empathetic and analytic minds must undertake these efforts with great tenacity in developing collective knowledge that will use sustainability principles to transform our world.
