A future of sustainable food production and distribution for all.
For over a decade, Western students have engaged in on-campus food production to test and apply concepts in the field, develop self-sufficiency and personal discipline, and mitigate student food insecurity. The Food Systems emphasis takes the lessons learned through these campus sustainability initiatives to create a versatile and impactful undergraduate degree geared toward helping you learn how to encourage a culture of food production and consumption sustainability.
Western currently has relationships with several local food systems partners including Mountain Roots Food Project, the Gunnison Country Food Pantry and the Coldharbour Institute, which provide local sites for experimentation in regenerative agricultural practices to supplement and put your classroom knowledge into practice.
