What food products are Real? Which vendors are verified as fair, ecological, and/or humane? Now, institutions of higher education can find out through the Real Food Database! Compiled from years of research done by students at colleges and universities all over the country, the database lists the products and companies that institutions can shift towards to build a just and sustainable campus food system. Real Food Calculator researchers can also access this database to learn what products have already been identified as Real or not Real, streamlining the tracking and reporting process of an (oftentimes) complicated and opaque food system. Learn how this tool can support your campus’s food procurement efforts and your AASHE STARS reporting!
