Vermont Higher Education Food Systems Consortium
Sterling College is a founding member of the Vermont Higher Education Food Systems Consortium. Below is a description.
Founded by a coalition of higher education institutions, the Vermont Higher
Education Food Systems Consortium is a statewide organization established in
2013 dedicated to the creation of sustainable and robust regional and global food
system through Vermont-based education, research, outreach, and direct
connection to farm, forest, and value-added agricultural opportunities.
The Consortium will strengthen Vermont’s place as a world-renowned center for
food systems education, research, and outreach. Working together, members of
the Consortium will increase student enrollment in food-systems-related disciplines
in the state, strengthen the capacity of each partnering institution to meet its
mission as it relates to food systems, and serve Vermont’s expanding and
entrepreneurial food system movement.
Sterling College has also hosted workshops for other Vermont colleges on Divestment from Fossil Fuels and various other workshops.
