The Sustainable Food Initiative History

The Brown Sustainable Food Initiative was founded in the spring of 2005 by a small group of students committed to local, sustainable agriculture. Since then its scope has broadened to include work with local farmers, engagement with Brown Dining Services, a student-managed urban garden, and short- and long-term projects addressing issues of sustainability in the global food system.

The Sustainable Food Initiative Mission

SuFI aims to educate and inspire the Brown campus community in an effort to create a more sustainable food system.  Through a variety of events and programs, from farm visits and fermentation workshops to panels on the global food economy, SuFI seeks to illuminate the variety of political, economic, social and cultural issues
