A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
UVa Dining established a set of sustainable food purchasing guidelines in 2008. In order of priority they are: local/seasonal, organic, humanely raised, and fairly traded.
The UVA food purchasing guidelines identify products that are locally grown or locally processed. 7% of food expenditures go towards locally grown AND locally processed food or third-party certified food.
