SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS at URBAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES: a SURVEY of U-21 UNIVERSITIES KAMESHWARI POTHUKUCHI Wayne State University SAMUEL A
SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS AT URBAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES: A SURVEY OF U-21 UNIVERSITIES KAMESHWARI POTHUKUCHI Wayne State University SAMUEL A. MOLNAR University of Michigan ABSTRACT: Urban communities are challenged by the conventional food system in diverse ways. To mitigate these challenges, a growing sustainable food system (SFS) movement mobilizes existing resources—including public institutions—to resolve disparities in access to healthy food, increase eco- nomic opportunities, conserve natural resources, and build a stronger, more local food system. Many public universities located in inner cities have adopted missions committing themselves to the im- provement of their cities and regions. They also perform anchoring roles to revitalize their immediate neighborhoods, and, in a contemporary extension of their civic purposes, embrace sustainability as an institutional goal. Urban public universities therefore can play many SFS leadership roles, including through links to innovative scholarship, campus dining halls, other food retail such as farmers markets, and civic engagement activities such as community gardens. Through a study of 21 urban public univer- sities, this paper investigates the presence and characteristics of SFS leadership, underlying rationales, and factors that support and oppose leadership. The conventional food system presents urban communities with a double-edged sword. It con- tributes to the local economy in jobs and sales and makes affordable foods abundant. Nonetheless, it also creates disparities in access to affordably priced healthy and fresh foods in impoverished neighborhoods and those of color, leading to obesity and diet-related illnesses at rates higher than national averages. Jobs in urban food retail tend to hover around the minimum wage with few benefits or upward mobility. -
