Good news future college students, or even those who are still involved in the college system now, sustainable food is being demanded by college students located all over the place, and this is a very good sign for everyone who is a little less vocal about their desires for healthy and sustainable food options.

The efforts of these students to get these sustainable foods into their schools include everything “from supporting local farm stands on campuses to teaching dining service staff how to cook with local and sustainable ingredients to participating in national campaigns to raise awareness about green eating, young learners have become integral to the larger process of change. The term ’sustainable’ in this case refers to agricultural practices that are environmentally friendly (i.e. organic or with minimal pesticides), support local small farmers and promote healthy, diversified diets.”
