Local Food Initiative
Preliminary Goals
- Explore the feasibility/desirability of purchasing a greater portion of Berea College’s foods for campus use (Boone Tavern, Food Service, Crossroads Cafe) from local/regional farmers and food processors.
- Engage in research and learning to prepare a report on findings and recommendations with respect to local food initiatives at Berea College and the surrounding community.
- Stage some on-campus “local food” occasions for raising awareness and provoking discussion of the benefits and requirements of a vibrant and responsible local food system in the Berea area.
