The Food Team strives to advance food justice, cultural inclusivity, and sustainability in Berkeley Dining Commons and in the Bay Area community. The Food Team promotes sustainable food practices by increasing procurement from sustainable sources, providing plant-based meals and plant-based food education, reducing food waste, highlighting circularity by showing students where their food comes from, and decreasing the gap in nutritious food access by increasing donations to the Basic Needs Center. Additionally, the Food Team advocates for equitable access to nutritious, culturally diverse foods and an inclusive dining environment sensitive to diverse relationships with foods.
