Building Equitable and Inclusive Food Systems at UC Berkeley: Foodscape Mapping Project

Project Basics

Project Sponsor: Berkeley Food Institute (BFI)

Awarded: $4,169

Grant Awarded: Fall 2018

Project Status: Complete

Project Description 

This project builds upon a past 2015 TGIF funded project by the BFI that created a foodscape map. The BFI used the data from this map to create a Sustainable and Just Catering Guide (SJCG). With this project, the BFI hopes to help campus departments and student groups adopt the SJCG, which will help reduce plastic use and food waste, and will emphasize small, diverse businesses. The money will go towards a graduate student fellow, with a small amount going towards outreach material.
