A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
Colgate uses a local distributor who purchases and delivers locally produced foods (e.g., vegetables, herbs, diary, poultry, swine, beef, grains, etc.) to the university. We also purchase local foods from area vendors such as Byrne Dairy, United Whole Foods, Mento, and others. Altogether, the university spends about 20% of its food budget on local and or 3rd party certified food and beverage items. This conclusion is the result of a 2011 report by Colgate student, Olivia Kuby '12.
