Abstract
Sustainability is an issue that everyone must face in the near future. One way that
universities across the United States are addressing sustainability and promoting
environmental awareness on campus is through food. Food sustainability is primarily
achieved by closing the loop on campus food systems and educating the student body on
the importance of its food choices. My thesis project aims to identify what other
universities have done to achieve success in their food initiatives and figure out how to
develop these initiatives at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). I found that by
integrating the goals and efforts of student, faculty, and food services, a campus-wide
food movement can be developed, and sustainability can be achieved. UNR will need to
form a food working group to address student awareness of food sustainability as well as
farming, local food sourcing, and composting programs to close the loop on campus.
