Supporting sustainable food systems is an important undertaking because food purchasing choices touch on a number of environmental issues. UCR developed menus that incorporate more local, sustainable and organic food products, educate consumers about their fining choices, and track progress towards meeting the goals it has set for itself. For more information, refer to the Sustainable Food Systems program brochure.
