Sustainable Foods at Emerson College

Have Emerson College Dining Services use only sustainable foods in their meals.

Why is this important?

Sustainable food is food that is healthy for consumers and animals, does not harm the environment, is humane for workers, respects animals, provides a fair wage to the farmer, and supports and enhances rural communities. You are what you eat, and we believe that if given the option, Emerson College students will prefer food grown locally, organically, and that is sustainable.
