A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
Duke has a strong reputation for high quality dining services, which includes a commitment to sustainability. Many campus eateries strive to incorporate local and organic ingredients and all campus eateries offer vegetarian options. The Performance Assessment for Culinary Excellence (PACE) rating system developed by Duke Dining Services rewards eateries for environmentally-preferable characteristics.
Duke's main food provider, Bon Appetit, is a leader in sustainability and currently purchases 15 percent local and organic food at Duke. Their "Circle of Responsibility" program provides educational signage for consumers in the eateries on campus about the environmental, community and health impacts of different food choices. An estimated 90 percent of pre-consumer and post-consumer waste is composted in Bon Appetit facilities at Duke.
