A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
A leading industry trend being embraced by Campus Dining Services is the sourcing of more local products. Specifically, this is targeting not just local products, but those of a higher quality than traditionally sourced items. This ties in perfectly with our efforts to reach out to today’s more health conscious consumer. Campus Dining Services has set a goal of at least 15% of food purchases coming from the local region.
