Food systems include thousands of jobs, vast areas of land, and countless consumers. As a dining operation, we strive to contribute to聽the goal of achieving ethical and sustainable food systems.聽
- Campus Dining is committed to integrating sustainability into all facets of our operation. We continuously endeavor to replace old sources, products and practices with new and better alternatives that benefit the environment and your dining experience. From our conscientious waste management program, to collaboration with students growing produce on campus, at 澳门彩开奖鈥檚 Own Dining Services we are dedicated to exploring every option available for the integration of sustainability.
- Signs in the Marketplace indicate the sustainable offerings. Sustainable ingredients such as local, organic produce are used in preparing many of our soups, deli salads, specialty meals, and Homestyle options.
- Composting and recycling is available in the JSC and across campus. Read more about waste management at 澳门彩开奖.
- Student Participation - Campus Dining is engaged with student鈥檚 ideas about sustainability. We employe a 4-person student intern team, which facilitates ongoing collaboration between students and the department. Student projects have included the eco-clamshell program, reducing bottled water, and the annual Iron Chef competition!
