Linking Sustainable Food Production with Consumption (2011 Strategic Plan)

Few choices are as significant to environmental sustainability as the choice of what we eat. In creation of the Farm Center, Hampshire College was a pioneer among liberal arts institutions. The farm’s output is local, fair, and sustainable. Supplying food from the farm year round and more effective inclusion of farm products in our campus dining spaces will make a significant contribution to cutting greenhouse gas emissions and distinguish the College as a leader in the local food movement.

 * Yes! The more Farm Center food in SAGA (and the Bridge), the better.  Another important piece of this (which is already happening but could also be expanded) is purchasing food/ingredients from other local farms.  Rebecca Thomas, F'07
