The Sustainable Food Strategy Task Force (SFSTF) was formed in 2016 to implement the UVA Sustainability Plan’s (2016-2020) food-related goals.

Food
UVA has a long history of promoting the public good, which includes supporting a culture of equitable, local, and healthy food in our community. From student vegetable gardens to local food in dining facilities, the University is supporting a sustainable food system to reduce negative environmental and social impacts from agriculture, food processing, and distribution while strengthening UVA’s connection within the region.
