Local Food Initiative Mission and Goals

The mission of the Berea College Local Food Initiative is to promote the participation of Berea College in the development of a sustainable food system.

Our goals are:

• To understand and foster the ecological, economic, social, and spiritual components of a sustainable food network

• To promote understanding by Berea College students, faculty, and staff of the sources of their food, thereby increasing appreciation of fresh, local foods

• To increase the purchase of locally grown foods for all of Berea College’s dining facilities;

• To encourage campus use of College Farm and Garden products

• To provide new marketing opportunities for local growers.
