WHAT IF…
- All the food purchased by US colleges and universities — over $4 billion worth — came from local, fair, ecologically sound, and humane sources?
- College farms were as common as football fields and every student had a chance to grow food?
- All 17 million college students — future professionals, parents, and decision-makers — graduated understanding the incredible impact of their food choices?
- All institutions of higher education embraced their role as shapers of a just and sustainable world?
The potential could be a reality if we work together.
ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?
Build the movement and contribute to our first target: shifting 20% of total food purchases, about $1 billion, to real food by 2020.
This initiative is a collaboration of The Food Project, the California Student Sustainability Coalition, and our partners.
