The University’s Food Security Action Plan Version 1.0 reflects our commitment to ensuring that all students have access to safe, nutritious, culturally appropriate and affordable food. Food insecurity is a significant issue facing many students, impacting their mental and physical health, overall well-being and academic success. This Action Plan outlines a comprehensive set of actions to address this challenge, including:
- Expanding immediate supports and exploring long-term solutions.
- Promoting food literacy and fostering a supportive and stigma free campus environment.
- Addressing systemic barriers including but not limited to, colonialism, racism, economic marginalization, and other systems of injustice.
- Building community partnerships to address the root causes of food insecurity.
The success of this Action Plan hinges on the unwavering commitment of academic and administrative leaders, collective support and active participation from the entire campus community and a student-centered approach that prioritizes and incorporates student voices, experiences and preferences throughout the implementation process.
Together we can achieve zero hunger on our campus.
