The Sustainable Food Initiative (SuFI) at Brown University is well organized and active on several fronts. I think these excerpts from their November 19th, 2007, email will interest readers of The Providential Gardener, especially those who are connected with other Rhode Island colleges and universities:
Here is a link to a report about The Real Food Summit at Yale:
The Real Food Summit: A Campus Movement Takes Shape
"Now the Sustainable Food Initiative is working with students from the Green Collaborative at Johnson and Wales University, Providence College, and our friends at RISD to start a "RI Real Food" group--a statewide coalition of students demanding a change in campus dining--working to leverage a big change in the way our colleges and universities spend their money. We are planning to officially associate in January.
IF you know folks who are (potentially) interested in environmental issues, or just and sustainable food at other schools in RI (Salve Regina, CCRI, Roger William, URI, etc.), LET US KNOW!!!
