A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:

GW signed on to the Real Food Campus Commitment in April 2014. The university has committed to procuring 20% 'Real Food' by 2020. This challenge campaign and associated calculator tool will be implemented to track sustainable food and beverage purchasing efforts based on our 2012/13 baseline assessment. This effort will not only increase the transparency of food served on campus, but provide educational and professional development opportunities for students throughout the years ahead.
