Sustainable food choices on campus
The university, as a body, provides sustainable food choices for all on campus. This is achieved through both menu requirements and a focus on sustainable sourcing.
1. Vegetarian and Vegan Options (Inclusivity):
Both campuses ensure dining options are available for students seeking plant-based meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
* Yangming Campus: All restaurants offer vegetarian selections.
* Guangfu Campus: The campus features a dedicated vegetarian restaurant, and other vendors are also required to provide both vegetarian and vegan options.
2. Sustainable Sourcing (Transparency and Local):
The university actively encourages on-campus restaurants to prioritize purchasing locally produced ingredients to reduce food miles and support local agriculture.
To maintain transparency and accountability in the food supply chain, the sources of all ingredients are registered in the official “”Campus Food Ingredients Registration Platform””.
3. Student-Led Promotion and Education
The university supports student organizations in actively promoting sustainable food choices and lifestyles:
Service Learning Lecture (2024.11.06): Jointly organized with the Fo Guang Youth Society, this event focused on “”Planet-Friendly Living.”” It featured lectures on “”The New Wave of Sustainability for University Students”” by a lecturer from the Taiwan Vegetarian Nutrition Society, highlighting the “”Plant-Based Campus Program,”” and a sharing session by the founder of the Meatless Market on adopting and promoting a plant-based lifestyle.
