ACTIVE

The CFC brings together students, faculty, staff, and community members to co-create campus-community food sovereignty. Through education, incubation, and innovation, we collaborate to build sustainable, accessible and democratic local food systems.

We connect student groups, students, faculty, and staff around food issues. We cultivate spaces where passion can drive a creative exchange between these parties. We’re building coalitions to build solutions.

We fund and guide alternatives to current food options. We nurture student-run food initiatives locally and encourage decision-making at the community level. All the while, we’re making sure students stay nourished—connecting them to the ever-growing alternative food system that we’re building.

We conduct research on food system innovation at a local and national level. We engage in specific research on behalf of local food justice organizations. All of these learnings inform our program development + we share them as educational initiatives for students.
