A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
Sustainable food is provided by third-party contractors who are running campus on-site restaurant facilities. Their core purchasing policy mandates food purchases from local providers. According to common practice, all vegetables, fish and dairy products are bought from local farm owners within a range even less than 200 miles from the campus area. Beverages are excluded as they are provided mainly from multinational companies and only a small portion is provided locally.
