The Sustainability Office Food Initiative is a new non-profit initiative to create and serve inexpensive fresh and healthy meals to as many people as possible in the UTSC community.
To provide healthy affordable meals, to the members of the UTSC community, including staff, students and faculty that are local, seasonal and vegetarian. We hope to encourage our peers to consciously opt for meals that are good for the mind, body and planet.
Vegetarian Menu: We opted for this menu as it will benefit the greatest number of people (students, staff and faculty).
Sustainability Office Collaborative Food Initiative’s main objectives are to:
-
establish a grassroots food alternative to the mainstream fast food options that are currently available at UTSC; allow students the opportunity to become aware of where their food comes from and take part in the cooking processes
-
to provide a warm and open environment in which students, staff and faculty can come together, forming a stronger community and discuss various issues and topics
-
provide delicious vegetarian options at an affordable price (pay as you want)
-
emphasize the importance of eating locally grown and seasonal foods
-
be innovative and creative with every meal we prepare
-
encourage students to understand the benefits of eating a plant based balanced diet
We have had our first successful event and we plan on continuing into the the upcoming semesters. All are welcome to take part in the initiative and bring their skills and experience to make this initiative grow and prosper. Email us to find out more information or to join the team.
