food
Food systems play a key role in the social, environmental, and economic goals of sustainability. Campus dining partnerships, academic programs, and research initiatives offer innovative solutions to address food sustainability at UF and in the broader Gainesville community.
Resources to get involved with gardening on campus include:
In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, local consumers support farms and receive high-quality produce on a regular basis. UF Human Resources facilitates CSA memberships at discounted rates with Frog Song Organics and Siembra Farm.
The Field & Fork Program is a robust resource for individuals seeking to learn more about gardening, food systems and food sustainability on UF campus and beyond. Through the on-campus food pantry, internships, courses and volunteer openings, the Field & Fork program is actively addressing food sustainability concerns and learning opportunities.
Florida Fresh Dining works to incorporate sustainability initiatives into its food offerings, campus programming, and business practices.
The Global Food Systems Institute (GFSI) is a research institute at UF connecting students, faculty and staff to develop participatory, research-based solutions that enhance nutrition, health, livelihoods and the environment globally through improved food systems.
