Real Food Challenge

Organization Description

The Real Food Challenge (RFC) is a national nonprofit aimed at transforming campus food systems to prioritize food that is socially just, environmentally sustainable, and humane. The success of the RFC has had significant positive impacts on: campus food systems; student empowerment, leadership, and skill development; and sustainability and food industry norms. We work with students to support their learning of food systems, supply chains, and organizing models, as well as providing an entry point for connection across universities and the food justice movement.
