Campus Dining Services defines sustainability as...

 

Food choices that celebrate flavor, affirm regional cultural traditions, and support local communities without compromising air, water or soil.

"Using local vendors is an important sustainability initiative because it requires the use of less fuel to deliver the food to campus."
