We envision a thriving world where plant-based food is the norm.
Food systems are our most powerful lever to improve environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and human health.

From the engaging presentations at NACUFS Conference, we identified three critical challenges facing campus dining and how plant-based defaults offer effective solutions.
Universities around the world see the value in reimagining food systems. Together we can keep campuses—and the planet—cool.
Just as we always eat in community, we also need our community to make this transformative work possible.
