Where do we begin?
In order to reform our food system, we must address all four components of Real Food. We must become more responsible consumers by buying local, organic, fair trade, or sustainably raised food. We must support our producers by advocating for worker's rights and policies that support small farmers and check the power of corporate greed. We must build strong communities that cultivate food security and sustain the local economy. And we must protect our environment by converting to a clean energy economy and cutting the factory out of factory farming.
Sound like a lot?
Yes, it may seem like just one more thing to fret about amidst a whole host of problems that plague our society. But we assure you, this one is important... because it effects us all.
And, best of all, YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

That's right: as students, we are consumers of education - without us, there would be no college! Therefore, we can decide what's important in our college environment and we can start working for change. We may not be able to end world hunger, but we can divert billinos of dollars towards real food, real people, real economies, and a very real earth.
