Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
When this category was originally being pursued, we were using the "Real Food Challenge" framework. The summer before submitting this report, the Real Food team announced their dissolution, which meant we would not be able to have our findings verified by their organization. This is why the information provided here resembles the framework of the Real Food Challenge but has been slightly adapted to satisfy STARS criteria.
The information presented here is self-reported. While AASHE staff review portions of all STARS reports and institutions are welcome to seek additional forms of review, the data in STARS reports are not verified by AASHE. If you believe any of this information is erroneous or inconsistent with credit criteria, please review the process for inquiring about the information reported by an institution or simply email your inquiry to stars@aashe.org.
